I would just add that the shifting definition of datasets, the different interpretations of datasets, comes back to the bigger question that we keep revisiting: if it's difficult for the government to understand, it's really difficult for citizens to understand what it means. Ultimately, to give this much power to governments to collect this information, and to our law enforcement agencies to gather and use this information, requires a large level of public trust. When the definitions keep changing and when it seems very vague or hard for parliamentary committees to understand and nail down, it's really hard for our community to understand what it means and what's included in it. Any clarity that can be provided on that would be much appreciated.
