Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for the question.
Indeed, this reluctance is very troubling. As we know, they are only supposed to request personal information in cases pertaining to national security. As I said in my speech, only two of the 18,000 requests from the Canada Border Services Agency pertain to national security.
If we demand transparency, perhaps we will discover that the requests are not just about national security. That is something I am wondering about as well.
