Ms. Stoddart, thank you for giving us the benefit of your insight into this important bill.
You and the members of your team have probably understood that we have to strike a balance between air safety imperatives and the disclosure of personal information. It's not an easy line to draw. How far can we go? I'm very pleased to see that you have major concerns, particularly with regard to the information that would be provided.
When Minister Toews testified earlier this week—it was on Tuesday, I believe—he talked about information that would be disclosed, such as the person's name, date of birth and gender, but also, if available, other information related to that person's passport and itinerary. Under the U.S. Secure Flight program, there is also the condition introduced by the words "but also".
In the middle of page 4 of your brief, you make the following recommendation: "Ensure that the minimal amount of personal information is disclosed to American authorities..."
Without saying it so directly, you're suggesting that we amend the bill. You're advising us not to stick solely to the three areas. You say: "Ensure that the minimal amount of personal information is disclosed to American authorities—Secure Flight only requires three pieces of information."
On the previous page, you put the emphasis on certain aspects of the Secure Flight program, and you add the words "but also". What do you think the Americans are requiring? What do you recommend?
