Haha, the House of Commons? Really? I don't think the federal government is looking to the House for motivation on this one.

D sounds good to me. Improving collection methods through IT systems is a great reason to do a PIA.

I think the answer is B. Receiving program approvals from the Treasury Board of Canada. The PIA is required for program approval, so that seems like the primary motivation.
