"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9265172\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, my colleague from Winnipeg is exactly wrong on the privacy issue. In fact, the Privacy Commissioner was not brought into the legislation. Ministerial orders require approval only by intelligence commissioners, and the absence of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada from any oversight role suggests that privacy is at best a second consideration. The Privacy Commissioner is not contemplated within this regime, and the criminal law system that is contemplated in it would override any privacy concerns. It is very concerning that the legislation was, effectively, drafted without any input from the Privacy Commissioner.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"9265172\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, mon coll\u00e8gue de Winnipeg a compl\u00e8tement tort en ce qui concerne la protection des renseignements personnels. En fait, aucune mention du commissaire \u00e0 la protection de la vie priv\u00e9e n'a \u00e9t\u00e9 ajout\u00e9e au projet de loi. Les arr\u00eat\u00e9s minist\u00e9riels n'ont besoin que de l'approbation du commissaire au renseignement, et le fait qu'aucun r\u00f4le de surveillance ne soit destin\u00e9 au commissaire \u00e0 la protection de la vie priv\u00e9e du Canada donne \u00e0 penser que la protection des renseignements personnels est, dans le meilleur des cas, une consid\u00e9ration secondaire. Le commissaire \u00e0 la protection de la vie priv\u00e9e ne fait pas partie de ce r\u00e9gime, et le syst\u00e8me de justice p\u00e9nale qui y est envisag\u00e9 aurait pr\u00e9s\u00e9ance sur toute pr\u00e9occupation en mati\u00e8re de protection des renseignements personnels. Le fait que le projet de loi ait \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9dig\u00e9 sans que l'on consulte le commissaire \u00e0 la protection de la vie priv\u00e9e est tr\u00e8s pr\u00e9occupant.</p>"
