  • Re: Bill C-27 
Madam Speaker, I appreciate that the member has been participating in the debate today. One of the questions that I have is, if this is really about protecting the personal privacy of individuals, why this bill has so many exemptions for businesses. It allows, in subsection 18(3), the legitimate interests of businesses to override the interests of an individual. In subsection 15(5), it allows businesses to use implied consent, not real consent, to override the interests of personal privacy. Why is it that personal privacy is not part of the purpose of the bill as a fundamental right?
