Mr. Speaker, I find it amazing that the system does not belong and yet it is encrypted. It would seem to me that the technology that is there now is what is being used to gather this information on 33 million people.
HRDC security policies are not even uniform across the country. The security audit states: “Variances among regional offices led to inconsistent IT security measures, such as various IT security risks not being appropriately addressed”.
Why is the minister pretending that she can protect Canadians' privacy when she cannot even enforce a basic uniform policy?
