Mr. Speaker, I am disappointed in that question. We are talking about privacy rights for Canadians. We are talking about protecting children's privacy rights, which are being absolutely discriminated against. They are surveilled every single day by big data. We want to protect their privacy rights. The member across from me is my neighbour, and I know he is also a father. Just how much of our children's information is out in the world, how much is being data mined and sold to other countries and companies, concerns me. I would love to hear questions about how we are going to better this bill and, therefore, better our children's futures in a digital age.

Madam Speaker, to reassure my colleague, Quebec does indeed mention that the right to privacy is a fundamental right. What is most important is that the Quebec act protects the data, no matter where it is used. It is protected based on the location of the individual. The laws apply in that place. At the same time, we do not only consider the size of the entity, but also the source of the data. These are minor differences, but they are important at a time when data is shared around the world.
