Mr. Speaker, that is a bunch of baloney. It is ridiculous.
We have learned that the Privacy Commissioner will broaden her investigation into the loss of personal data to include the Department of Justice. A lawyer for the department was carrying unencrypted information on approximately half a million Canadians. The Conservatives' lax attitude toward privacy protection is unacceptable.
Can the Minister of Justice tell us whether or not his department allows staff to waltz around with personal information on USB keys?
