2017-09-18 17:01 House intervention / intervention en chambre

Madam Speaker, I want to revisit an issue I brought up with the member's colleagues. Privacy concerns have come up quite a bit. I share these concerns generally, but I do not see them arising in the bill. I see the bill as about sharing information that already exists and, principally, getting information into the country that other countries have, which I think would be useful for our purposes.

My concern struck home a few days ago with an Amber Alert in my riding. I want to ensure that had that person gone south instead of north, we would have had the opportunity to catch him. I wonder if the member would comment on that.

Madame la Présidente, j’aimerais revenir sur le sujet que j’ai porté à l’attention des collègues du député. De nombreuses préoccupations ont été exprimées en matière de protection de la vie privée. De façon générale, je les partage, mais je pense qu’elles ne découlent pas de ce projet de loi, qui porte sur le partage d’informations qui existent déjà et sur l’obtention de celles dont d’autres pays disposent et qui nous seraient utiles.

Je pense à l’alerte Amber qui a été donnée il y a quelques jours dans la circonscription que je représente. Je veux m’assurer que si la personne en cause s’était enfuie vers le sud plutôt que vers le nord, nous aurions pu l’attraper. Le député aurait-il un commentaire à ce sujet?
