Currently, if we look at proposed section 5, the purpose provision talks about the “rules to govern the protection of personal information in a manner that recognizes the right of privacy of individuals with respect to their personal information and the need of organizations to collect, use” and so on.
That's why I was concerned from day one about the need to recognize privacy as a fundamental right. It's to send the message that, yes, you have to consider those two things, but these are not equal things. Yes, you will do everything to have both innovation and privacy. In most cases, I am convinced that you can have those things. It's the same with public interest.
If there's a clear conflict that you can't resolve, the fundamental right should prevail.
