Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Saad, we note that your concerns are virtually identical to those of the Barreau du Québec. It's a shame we did not receive your brief to review your proposed amendments, because we had until last night—or until May 27—to submit them. Of course, we can always propose them on the spot, but that's always more complicated. So, it's unfortunate.
Mr. Surgenor, I'd like you to tell us about other countries. We've been hearing nothing but positive things; however, in recent weeks, some witnesses have told us that we shouldn't compare ourselves too closely to them, because we aren't really that similar. Essentially, in Canada, we have a culture in this regard—or a deep commitment to the protection of privacy.
In your opinion, are there things that other countries do that we shouldn't replicate and that shouldn't be included in the bill?
