Mr. Chair, indeed, there is quite a bit of overlap between NDP-11 and CPC-30, to the degree that it would likely be interpreted as a drafting error down the road, given how similar it is. That creates an issue.
The one new element in NDP-11 that's not in CPC-30 is a requirement that the government disclose to any telecom service provider that it has entered into an agreement with another state. That speaks to the concerns that Mr. Ramsay was outlining about requiring the government to keep potentially dozens of telecom service providers up to speed with basic international relations, which would be problematic.
Given that proposed section 15.7 already prohibits the government from sharing even confidential information, that personally strikes me as quite a bit of cost to the government's conduct of international relations without material benefit from a privacy standpoint, in addition to, indeed, the duplication with CPC-30.
