Mr. Speaker, other than the leader of the Liberal Party, very few people are happy about the appointment of a Conservative as Privacy Commissioner. The Prime Minister's candidate has been very poorly received by the community.
According to the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, Ann Cavoukian, Daniel Therrien's professional background is exactly the opposite of what we should be looking for in a privacy commissioner.
Why do the Conservatives want a commissioner who is more interested in spying on Canadians than in protecting their privacy?
