Mr. Speaker, one thing we know is that when we posed these questions to the government a number of months ago, the standard lines were, number one, “We are very concerned”, and, number two, “We take this very seriously”. If it was very concerned and took it very seriously, then it would pay attention to the advice of both of the federal agencies.
Let me read from the Privacy Commissioner's website, under “Frequently Asked Questions”, which states:
What should I do if my personal information is compromised by a data breach?
The answer is simple:
Contact the fraud departments of the two major credit bureaus. Request that a "fraud alert" be placed in your files. Order copies of your credit report, and repeat this step in six months.
If the Conservatives are concerned and take it seriously, why would they not contract TransUnion to protect the security of these individuals?
