You have professional services like law firms, financial services, accounting firms, and my own business from before I became a parliamentarian, the mortgage brokerage business. These are businesses that have long, long understood the need to keep client information private. They do not try to share information publicly or to profit from doing so. It would be completely counter to all the principles which the many different professions that must collect information work under, and yet the same law is also for a social network, for whom the product is the information that is shared.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4786991\" data-originallang=\"en\">Do we need to have two different laws? We have personal information and privacy, which seems like one thing. Electronic data, or the deliberate sharing or communication of electronic information, strikes me as something quite different. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4786992\" data-originallang=\"en\">I'd like any of you to comment on whether or not, with so many different things going on and the different types of activity that this law tries to regulate, this needs to be split up. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4786989\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vous remercie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4786990\" data-originallang=\"en\">En \u00e9coutant les t\u00e9moins que nous avons re\u00e7us jusqu'\u00e0 maintenant, y compris ceux d'aujourd'hui, je m'\u00e9tonne du nombre consid\u00e9rable d'organisations diff\u00e9rentes qui sont assujetties \u00e0 la loi et du nombre de situations et d'exemples diff\u00e9rents qui sont couverts par cette m\u00eame loi. Pourtant, elle est pratiquement inutile pour certains secteurs d'activit\u00e9 et certains types d'entreprises. Je pense notamment \u00e0 des cabinets d'avocats, des entreprises de services financiers, des firmes comptables et des entreprises de courtage hypoth\u00e9caire, car j'\u00e9tais courtier hypoth\u00e9caire avant d'\u00eatre \u00e9lu d\u00e9put\u00e9. Ce sont l\u00e0 des entreprises qui ont compris depuis tr\u00e8s longtemps la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 de prot\u00e9ger les renseignements personnels de leurs clients. Elles n'essaient pas de rendre publics ces renseignements ni d'en tirer profit en faisant cela. Elles iraient totalement \u00e0 l'encontre de tous les principes qu'on respecte dans les nombreuses professions diff\u00e9rentes qui impliquent de recueillir des renseignements personnels, et pourtant, cette loi s'applique \u00e9galement aux r\u00e9seaux sociaux, dont le produit est la communication de renseignements.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4786991\" data-originallang=\"en\">Devons-nous avoir deux lois diff\u00e9rentes? La protection des renseignements personnels et de la vie priv\u00e9e est une chose, et il me semble que la protection des donn\u00e9es \u00e9lectroniques, ou la communication d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9e de renseignements \u00e9lectroniques, est une tout autre chose.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4786992\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais que vous me disiez si, selon vous, il faudrait avoir deux lois \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 les diff\u00e9rents types d'activit\u00e9s qu'on tente de r\u00e9glementer.</p>"
