I'm not suggesting that we would have oversight under this legislation. I'm suggesting that we be given the necessary information so that we can fulfill our mandate under privacy legislation with respect to public sector and private sector privacy information.
One of the recommendations I've made is that privacy impact assessments be mandatory and that I be consulted on those so that we can provide insight and advice to departments, because when that happens at the front end, these issues can be corrected and addressed before they become issues that can impact Canadians' trust.
It's not so much the fact that my office would be the regulator; in many instances we wouldn't be.
I'll give the example of former Bill C-11, which falls under the CRTC. The CRTC has jurisdiction, but we can provide input, and the bill recognizes privacy as a consideration.
