The legislation currently doesn't provide a role for my office. The role would be specified under the Privacy Act. We have jurisdiction over the government's handling of information and we have jurisdiction over the private sector's handling of information.
One of our recommendations is to have more transparency mechanisms so that we can know what is happening and so that we can know what type of information is being collected, disclosed and used so that we can exercise our powers in that regard.
With regard to those reports, there's a provision in the bill for an annual report by the minister overall. We're recommending that this be more specific and that there be more details about what is happening.
We would also potentially have a role in working with the regulators in cases of cyber-breaches and cyber-incidents. One of my recommendations is that we be given the ability to collaborate with those regulators and, as needed, exchange information and work collaboratively when cyber-incidents involve personal information. We know that's a big area of concern for Canadians.
