Hon ANDREW LITTLE (Minister of Justice): Thank you, Madam Chair, and I thank the member for his question. This bill, the member might well know, goes back some years. In fact, it started under the previous Government, and it's no criticism that it has taken this long to get to this point. A very important area of human endeavour—particularly in this day and age—is to ensure that we have a good legal framework to protect privacy.
