Mr. Speaker, I want to go back to the Privacy Commissioner's request. My understanding is that there was a request to some 13 companies. Of those 13 companies, nine responded anonymously and four did not respond. We know that they included companies such as Bell Canada, Telus, Rogers, Shaw, SaskTel and other companies, such as Twitter, Google, Apple, and so forth.
We understand that in excess of one million pieces of information about Canadians were actually released. From what we can tell, it included things such as their addresses and names and phone numbers. In trying to get a breakdown of where or who the people were who were actually requesting, we found out earlier that Border Services was one of them. I asked how many requests there were from the RCMP and CSIS, and there were blank faces on the other side. We do not know how many have actually been requested by organizations such as those.
Does the member not believe that it would have been of some value, given the importance of today's debate, if the government members had come a bit better prepared to answer questions of that nature?
