Subcommittee on Private Members' Business committee  Yes. Bill S-213, which you received earlier this week, was first tabled in the Senate and then in the House of Commons. Only one of the four criteria applies to Senate bills, that is, whether a similar bill was voted on during the current Parliament. Bill S-213 seeks to designa

Subcommittee on Private Members' Business committee  Criterion 4 would in fact be the one that is in question since we are talking about a government bill.

Subcommittee on Private Members' Business committee  Yes. In Bill C-475, for example, there is a provision to authorize the commissioner to take action against an organization that has lost private information. There is no similar provision in Bill C-12. That's an example. Also, if you want to proceed to a detailed analysis of th
