General Scheme of Data-Sharing and Governance Bill: Discussion

10:00 am

Mr. Barry Lowry:

Individual Departments would look specifically at the purposes of those types of bodies in the role of data sharing. For example, if one looks at the Department of Agriculture, the role of agents in certain dealings with the Department have long since been established. Departments' specific legislation will take care of requirements for data sharing with agents and the permissions that need to be given by the individual and so on. This legislation would not get into that level of detail. As Mr. Sutherland said, there is an expectation that there would be specific legislation for that level of sharing.
