Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Edmonton Strathcona for her hard work on this, and also for reinforcing the protection and strengthening of the Privacy Commissioner. That office has done wonders for this country. I have seen about four privacy commissioners in my tenure in Parliament, and they have all been strong. I have not always agreed with some of their decisions, but they certainly have been at the forefront of accountability in public policy in pushing for greater protection for Canadians. The U.S. does not have this. This is one of our moments of strength that we as a country have in a structure. The member is absolutely correct. We need to make sure the Privacy Commissioner's office is strengthened and remains independent because it has been an asset, not only for personal information but also for our businesses across this country.
