Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Amendment BQ-9 is pretty straightforward. It seeks to add, after line 29 on page 7, the following:
(3) If an exchange of information occurs under an agreement or arrangement with the government of a foreign state or with an international organization established by the governments of foreign states, the Minister must, without delay, notify the person to whom the information relates of the disclosure and of the state or organization that received it.
This amendment was requested by organizations that appeared before the committee and is simply intended to add protection for personal information or other information that is disclosed by the government.
