Replying to Dan Albas (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, let me start by thanking the member for sharing his desire to see the free trade of Canadian wine across this great nation. Okanagan wine should be available to every province and every consumer who wants it. Canadians should be able to support and buy Canadian. Are there any amendments the member would like to see when it comes to division 8, specifically on limiting privacy, particularly on data exchanges, whether it be between businesses or governments, that he thinks are missing in this piece of legislation?”
