Justice committee  In a general sense I am, yes.

Justice committee  I would go back to the view I expressed earlier; that is, that this provision, we find, would send a signal to telecommunications companies to voluntarily disclose to law enforcement agencies more information than is currently the case. Our view is that this kind of activity shou

Justice committee  I would ask Ms. Kosseim to answer this, please.

Justice committee  I don't know the exact time period. I will say that preservation orders are meant to protect that period to obtain that information. I don't know if my colleagues have anything to add further to that, but that's what preservation orders are for.

Justice committee  I think that the Privacy Commissioner's powers should be considerable and that privacy rights are of a quasi-constitutional nature.

Justice committee  Allow me to pass this question to Ms. Kosseim, since I have only been with the office for three working days. I have an amazing team behind me. However, I cannot say at this point whether it is large enough.

Justice committee  I have not performed sufficient analysis to comment on the constitutionality of this bill. However, this morning, we have shared some of our concerns about privacy protection, and I will leave it at that. I think the bill could be improved to take those concerns into account.

Finance committee  I support the idea of having a DNA data bank to locate missing persons or unidentified human remains. The concern is in the cross-matching of various indices, some of which are for the humanitarian purpose of finding missing persons, back to other indices that deal with criminali

Finance committee  The bank is constituted of several indices, some of which deal with either convicted offenders or DNA collected at crime scenes. Other indices would now deal with the DNA of missing persons or persons who may be dead. All of this is put into, globally, a DNA data bank. The govern

Finance committee  Exactly.
