Information & Ethics committee  There are two things, Mr. Barrett. In our statement dated August 24, 2023, we talked about some of the privacy risks in terms of data scraping. Some of them include targeted cyber-attacks, identity fraud, monitoring, profiling and surveilling of individuals, unauthorized political or intelligence-gathering purposes, or unwanted direct marketing or spam.

Information & Ethics committee  We have issued some investigations. One involved Clearview AI, an organization that was scraping the images of Canadians online and creating what was described as almost a permanent lineup of facial identification. We found that this was a violation of the privacy legislation and made recommendations to the organization.

Information & Ethics committee  Good afternoon, Mr. Chair. Good afternoon, members of the committee. I am pleased to be here today to discuss my 2022‑23 Annual Report to Parliament, which highlights the important work that my office is doing to protect and promote the fundamental right to privacy in a time of unprecedented technological change.
