Madam Speaker, I listened with interest to the hon. member who spoke before me. I am very glad to hear that there are some stringent prohibitions on the use of personal information under this act; that was very reassuring. I think we all share the concern that underlies the Bloc motions we are discussing. We do have to guard against government intrusion into our personal lives, especially in an unwarranted way that is not serving our interest but is intruding upon our individual liberties.
I was very interested in the Bloc speaker who was concerned about personal information falling into the wrong hands. That is a very legitimate concern in Canada.
I suggest the Bloc look at another bill before the House, Bill C-68, in which there is a great deal of personal information being amassed by a bill before the House, very personal questions being asked in a process of registration and determination. I suggest that if Bloc members really have a concern about personal information falling into the wrong hands they should be equally concerned about Bill C-68.
This is an issue that was properly raised. I was interested to hear the remarks of my hon. friend from the government side.
