It was in this context that we submitted proposed amendments to restrict the scope of the bill with regard to time, oversight of the bill, to take the pulse, in order to determine somewhat where this is headed. If the U.S. provisions are perhaps ruled unconstitutional, the system in the United States is changed and there are better restrictions, our apprehensions may disappear.
We insisted on written commitments from the U.S. in this context, and an approach that is very calm and that ensures constant monitoring of the question. A process of exemption by route, for example, may be renewed if the situation continues to require it. Your trip may be exempted from PIPEDA if it is necessary or there are no alternatives.
However, we don't want to guarantee holus-bolus that, in future, the private information of Canadian passengers cannot ever be disclosed to any country, particularly in a context in which the bill gives this discretion to the airline rather than to another entity that might be in a better position to assess the dangers of possible disclosure.
