You might want to look at the current engagement by the Privacy Commissioner of Canada as well as the B.C. information and privacy commissioner with regard to Facebook, which demonstrates the extreme weakness of our privacy legislation and the inability of the Privacy Commissioner to levy real and meaningful fines against companies found to be wilfully violating Canadian law and legislation, even though that law might be decades out of date. There are certainly significant elements that can be done here.
I would also encourage the committee to look at the Australian process of the Richardson review. I recently wrote a whole book on this, Intelligence as Democratic Statecraft. Australia has a five-year review, led by a judge, of its entire national security intelligence architecture. These reports are up to 1,200 pages in length. They are extremely detailed. As a result, Australia is able to engage in precisely the sort of systematic overhaul that we have not seen in Canada.
