It's not a party position, I imagine.
My question is for CSE, to start, since this was discussed in your presentation, but it's also for CSIS, because it is mentioned in part 4 as much as it is in part 3 of the bill when it comes to the definition of “publicly available information”.
The sense I've gotten from people who know about it better than I do and have been before the committee is that, up until now, there's been no definition in Canadian law and no jurisprudence about what publicly available information is.
You've defined it as the sort of public resources that would be available to anyone in Canada. One example that the Canadian Bar Association offered was that of information being sold by Facebook to advertisers—which arguably would be available to anyone if they were in that business. It's unclear to me whether we're talking about googling someone whose Facebook page doesn't have strong privacy settings, or whether we're actually talking about things that technically are available to anyone, but wouldn't actually be.
Therefore, my first question is, can you drill down that definition? My second one is why is there no definition in the bill or anywhere in Canadian law of this, and should there be a definition in the bill to make that more explicit?
