Refine by MP, party, committee, province, or result type.
Information & Ethics committee We haven't studied the models in depth, so I can't give you any specifics.
February 13th, 2007Committee meeting
Steve Sullivan
Information & Ethics committee Mr. Chair, I did find the copy of the letter from the Privacy Commissioner. We could have it photocopied, perhaps, before we leave.
February 13th, 2007Committee meeting
Steve Sullivan
Information & Ethics committee That's absolutely the case. I agree with you on your first point about this being an international problem; we're certainly not naive about this being a Canadian problem. In cases like the one last week, when this huge child pornography ring was busted and our law enforcement was
February 13th, 2007Committee meeting
Steve Sullivan
Information & Ethics committee Yes. There are jurisdictions—certainly Ontario is one, and my friend can speak to others—where pawnshops are required to track the customers and the merchandise, and law enforcement can have access to that to try to trace back to who had the stolen property and maybe where it cam
February 13th, 2007Committee meeting
Steve Sullivan
Information & Ethics committee But I speak of that because to find out those people who possess that stuff may also prevent the abuse of other children. That heightens why it is especially important.
February 13th, 2007Committee meeting
Steve Sullivan
Information & Ethics committee There is, and my friend can speak to this perhaps. I know the Toronto Police Service has been very active in trying to track back through image analysis. You may remember the case of images they released, taking out the young girl's image but showing a hotel room or amusement pa
February 13th, 2007Committee meeting
Steve Sullivan
Information & Ethics committee I don't want to speak for my friend, but from our perspective, in cases of child exploitation through the Internet, it should be “must”. There should be no discretion for ISPs. I don't want to speak for anyone else, but that's our position.
February 13th, 2007Committee meeting
Steve Sullivan
Information & Ethics committee I can only give you anecdotal examples that we've been told about by law enforcement. We've referred to some media articles as well in our brief. The Edmonton Journal article I referred to from last week even says that the head of the RCMP centre says, “We can't start without kno
February 13th, 2007Committee meeting
Steve Sullivan
Information & Ethics committee I wouldn't say that she would have a more enhanced role in tracking down abusers, but I'm thinking of a more enhanced role in looking into the issue of what ISPs could do, for example, to better assist law enforcement and to speak for the children and talk about their privacy int
February 13th, 2007Committee meeting
Steve Sullivan
Information & Ethics committee You're right; we won't. Say, for example, we identified a young girl from Ottawa, and we found that her father had identified images. I don't pretend to know the answer, but are there ways, are there things the ISPs could be doing to help law enforcement remove those photos? I th
February 13th, 2007Committee meeting
Steve Sullivan
Information & Ethics committee I did quote it. I'm certainly happy to provide a copy to the committee.
February 13th, 2007Committee meeting
Steve Sullivan
Information & Ethics committee I think what we'd like to see is some clarification that PIPEDA was never intended to negate or interfere with people's moral and lawful duties to be good corporate citizens in assisting the police. Obviously our issue comes back to protecting children, but if there's a way to in
February 13th, 2007Committee meeting
Steve Sullivan
Information & Ethics committee In fact, we've had a long-term interest in the issue and in the bill. We have been working in particular with one a lady from British Columbia whose daughter has been missing for a number of years. She's been very vocal on this issue. We've worked with your predecessor, Mr. Lunn,
February 13th, 2007Committee meeting
Steve Sullivan
Information & Ethics committee From our point of view, certainly with reference to where it says there should be a warrant, obviously we agree with our friend that if there's a warrant, that's a must. There should be no discretion.
