First, I'll start with the scope of the information that can be collected. It can only be collected if it's related to an order to protect the Canadian telecommunications system—to inform the development of an order, or to enforce or promote compliance with an order. Off the bat, the information of concern is not personal information. It is the corporate information of the telecom operators that own and operate the telecom networks we're dealing with. Personal information—web-browsing behaviour and what have you—is not germane to that. We cannot collect information that is out of the scope of the existing text.
The amendments that were passed just now further make that clear in the provisions for designating confidentiality. There are a number of factors that allow for what information can be designated as confidential. They make it clearer that personal and de-identified information as captured is there, along with making it clear that the Privacy Act applies.
Finally, under proposed section 15.7, there are two provisions that state that any information designated as confidential—for instance, personal information—cannot be disclosed internationally within this scope. At a few different steps—in terms of what information can be collected at the outset, or if, by some chance, personal information was provided by accident—the limitations on what we could do with that information set out a regime that does not involve ministerial discretion.
