Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our presenters this morning. It's a very interesting subject.
Ms. Bernier, I'm going to ask you a few questions. There was an article on the CBC news website that you were quoted in, entitled “Chantal Bernier says Ottawa snooping on social media”. It goes on to talk about how you raised alarms—or flags, if you will—about the government collecting too much data on social media, and about the notion that if you post on social media—and I'm very active on social media through Facebook and Twitter—that's fair game for everybody. In the article you said you were seeing evidence of that from government. To quote the article:
Bernier's office revealed that various government agencies have made almost 1.2 million requests for personal information about Canadians from Canada's major telecom companies....
That is a bit of an aside.
I want you to give us your thoughts on that, and also comment on the Cindy Blackstock case. I'd like to get your thoughts and some background on that case. How is it pertinent? What are your viewpoints?
