Mr. Speaker, I congratulate and compliment my colleague on his discussion of the Senate amendments to the bill.
He mentioned that the federal government in dealing with this issue had not been very co-operative in discussing it with the provinces that have the broad jurisdiction, in particular with issues of privacy. However there are privacy issues that come under the federal government. I am thinking of federal institutions such as banks and interprovincial communications, protection of personal property and lists that are transferred through lease, loan or sales agreements.
Could my colleague comment on the federal government's dealing with privacy issues relating to federal institutions?
