I am getting a quick education from my colleague. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3161378\" data-originallang=\"en\">As you know, this study has been going on for some time. We have been trying to clearly understand our role as legislators in ensuring that consumer privacy is paramount. Through this study, we have come across a number of different areas that are very concerning, and there have been others about which we have been told it's best to just leave the industry alone, because with any more regulation we would stifle growth and employment. We're trying to find a fine balance in terms of where we belong in this whole process and at the same time ensure that consumer privacy is critical. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3161379\" data-originallang=\"en\">As you know, we have met predominantly with social media companies. I wonder if you would agree that the social media companies will push the edges of the envelope to the extent that they are able to until such time as a regulatory process says, \u201cEnough.\u201d Would you agree that is a fair statement, or am I overstating it?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3161376\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3161377\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur Chapell, d'\u00eatre venu aujourd'hui. Mon coll\u00e8gue me donne une formation rapide.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3161378\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme vous le savez, cette \u00e9tude dure depuis un certain temps. Nous essayons de bien comprendre notre r\u00f4le de l\u00e9gislateurs pour faire en sorte que l'on accorde la plus haute importance aux renseignements personnels des consommateurs. Dans le cadre de cette \u00e9tude, nous avons abord\u00e9 un certain nombre de domaines tr\u00e8s pr\u00e9occupants, et d'autres pour lesquels on nous a dit qu'il \u00e9tait pr\u00e9f\u00e9rable de ne pas contrecarrer l'industrie, car en leur imposant de la r\u00e9glementation suppl\u00e9mentaire, on ne ferait qu'\u00e9touffer la croissance et l'emploi. Nous essayons de trouver un juste \u00e9quilibre entre notre place dans ce processus et le besoin d'accorder une importance primordiale \u00e0 la protection de la vie priv\u00e9e des consommateurs. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3161379\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme vous le savez, nous avons surtout rencontr\u00e9 des repr\u00e9sentants d'entreprises de m\u00e9dias sociaux. Je me demande si vous \u00eates d'accord pour dire que ces types d'entreprises pousseront le bouchon jusqu'\u00e0 ce qu'on leur dise \u00ab \u00e7a suffit \u00bb par voie r\u00e9glementaire. Diriez-vous que c'est une affirmation juste ou est-ce que j'exag\u00e8re?</p>"
