Mr. Speaker, the implementation of FATCA would have serious implications on children in the member's riding.
The implementation of FATCA, according to James Jatras, who was a former U.S. diplomat, would have the purpose of nullifying Canadian protections under the Bank Act, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, otherwise known as PIPEDA, the Canadian human rights code and, especially, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
These people are not just resident Americans. At least a million of them are Canadian citizens. Many of them live in her riding.
Claims that the personal data of Canadians would not be forwarded to the NSA and other intelligence agencies are laughable. Some of those persons are children.
What would the member opposite like to suggest? The bill somehow does not protect the safety, security and personal information of these people, including children.
