I would add that I, too, am not going to speculate as to why the Privacy Commissioner has put forward what he's put forward.
From a law enforcement perspective, I can say that we're looking for, as the bill started off saying, timely access to information at the beginning of an investigation involving a crime and a victim. I can say with assurance that there are no investigators who are looking to have evidence that is not charter-compliant as part of their file and then going to court, giving disclosure and having the case thrown out.
From a law enforcement perspective, we're looking at the guardrails and the balances in the legislation as proposed so that we can advance investigations, because although the Privacy Commissioner has a mandate that he's speaking to, law enforcement's mandate is public protection and doing successful criminal investigations for victims of crime. The fact of the matter is that technology is an integral part of all investigations in this day and age.
