I thank both witnesses for outlining the multiple issues with the Bill, including its interpretation of GDPR. Given their expertise and advocacy in this area, the committee would be obliged to include these issues in our report. I will be pushing strongly for that. Let us assume, however, that the Minister does not accept the issues we have raised, which is a very real concern of mine, and that the Bill passes with sections contrary to GDPR. What would happen then? Would the people concerned be in a worse position in some instances with new restrictions being brought in? Will individuals be forced to go to court again to access basic information about themselves, as with the case referred to in the response to Senator Ruane? This question is for both of the witnesses or either.
