Mr. Speaker, he also said that there was a need for an oversight body.
Canadians also have good reason to be concerned about what the government is doing when it comes to their personal information.
Let us take the story of Ellen Richardson. She was flying down to the states for a 10-day Caribbean vacation, but never made it. She was denied entry into the United States. The agent said that it was because of her previous hospitalization for depression, information that should have been private. She was stunned.
Could the minister explain to the House how a U.S. border agent would know about a Canadian's private medical history?
