Thank you for that.
As you know, “Parliament is not bound by the Privacy Act, and has a right to have any documents laid before it which it believes are necessary.” This power “is said to be absolute.” This is how the Liberal chair of this very committee ruled in 2009.
On the ArriveCAN investigation, as an example, in an email discussing an OGGO motion, the CBSA talks about redacting and withholding, based upon the spirit of the ATIP Act.
Could you explain if that is allowed? Can you explain that process and how they would be allowed to redact and withhold documents based on the spirit of the ATIP Act?
