I echo the point made by Senator Bacik on the relevance of the data protection commissioner's intervention on the Bill. When did the commissioner make those observations and did the Attorney General read those observations? If that happened, why would the Attorney General not recommend wording such as that in amendment No. 11 to make a correction to the Bill? It is directly related to the Bill. The House needs to know when the data protection commission made the observations, if they were made available to the Attorney General, and if they were, why did the Attorney General not recommend wording to fix those problems? The wording would be similar to that in amendment No. 11.
