Thank you for your question and for your kindness regarding my French.

I will now turn the floor over to my colleague Ms. Charlet, because it is clear that there is tension regarding the Privacy Act and Bill C‑22.

I'll pass it on to my colleague Kate to speak more with regard to the privacy considerations that are invoked by this law in particular, in comparison with the U.S. regime.

See context to find out what was said next.
