Public Safety committee  I would echo the same general comment, that information really should only be retained for the period of time it's required. It's a little difficult to understand why entry and exit data would have any value 50 or 75 years after the event. One example I like to use is CBSA. Most organizations are required to maintain tax records for seven or eight years, and beyond that even the financial aspects of individuals and companies are primarily considered irrelevant.

Public Safety committee  Good morning, Mr. Chairman and members of the committee. My name is Eric Jacksch, and I'm pleased to be here to discuss Bill C-21. By way of background, I have a B.A. in sociology-criminology and started my career working as a correctional officer and probation and parole officer for the Province of Ontario.
