Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Ms. Bernier.
I listened to you, and I have read your document. I will begin with the passenger protect program. You said some very important things about the program. After having analyzed the program, you say the following: “However, we remain concerned by the difficulty of ensuring that foreign carriers are not disclosing information on the list to their governments or other parties.” This is serious. It is important to measure the seriousness of the matter, because, in reference to the Americans, you also say that we should: “inform Canadians of the exact scope of personal information”. But you do not ask the government to tell Canadians that this information could be passed on to third parties.
Is that because you do not have that information? When I read that, I told myself that I would never again deal with an airline that was not Canadian. Many airlines sell tickets, so let's deal with Canadian ones. That way, we can at least make sure that our information is not passed on to third parties. Have you analyzed this situation, or are you in the process of doing so right now? Please explain this to me.
