I take your point about judicial authorization. I think the point that's being attempted to be made.... Perhaps I shouldn't be so bold. The point I will attempt to make is this. As I understand it, we are looking at a streamlined process in order to get information. Law enforcement has said, “We spend way too long getting really basic information,” and this is why we use terms like “confirmation of service demand” rather than going out and getting things.
If, right now, we're looking at confirmation of service, my understanding was that the whole point of that was to streamline the process and, in so streamlining the process, it was to say the privacy interest that is being impugned or questioned is low. Asking, “Are you a customer? Are you this? Are you that?” is for the narrow category of service providers, so to speak. I think we were all thinking of the classic being the IP address, “Are they a customer of Bell?” When you start talking about streamlining getting information from a hotel, for instance, and things like that, I think that's a lot different. I'm mindful of questions such as, “Is this person a client of the hotel. Did they stay there or not?” To me, that's a much different privacy interest being streamlined than just, “Is this a customer?”
I hope I'm making sense here. How do you respond to that?
