| + Freedom is the power or right, to act, speak, or think as one | ||
| + wants without hindrance or restraint. Freedom is the absence | ||
| + of subjection to foreign domination or despotic government. | ||
| + Freedom means people may choose their own actions in an | ||
| + environment that nurtures the full development of human | ||
| + potential. By enacting and enforcing this policy, several | ||
| + positive societal outcomes should be observed. | ||
| + </paragraph> | ||
| + </overview> | ||
| + <general> | ||
| + <paragraph> | ||
| + The freedom experienced by world citizens can be ranked by | ||
| + various indices, including: <xref id="1">Economic Freedom | ||
| + of the World Index</xref>, <xref id="2">Index of Freedom in | ||
| + the World</xref>, <xref id="3">Worldwide Press Freedom | ||

| + Transparency International <xref id="8">Corruption | ||
| + Perceptions Index</xref>. | ||
| + </paragraph> | ||
| + </general> | ||
| + <directional> | ||
| + <paragraph> | ||
| + Nations that empower their citizens with the most freedoms | ||
| + rank the highest in various indices, relative to nations that | ||
| + restrict citizen freedoms the most. More freedom is | ||
| + correlated with higher earnings, increased happiness, | ||
| + protected civil rights, cleaner environments, less | ||
| + corruption, lower infant mortality rates, less child labour, | ||
| + and longer life expectancy. | ||
| + </paragraph> | ||
| + </directional> | ||
| + <measurable> | ||
| + <paragraph> | ||
| + If a country's average rank across the given indices is related | ||
| + to the privacy of citizen communications, then surveillance | ||
| + programmes that monitor citizen communications will decrease that | ||
| + country's rank. | ||

| + Freedom is the power or right, to act, speak, or think as one | ||
| + wants without hindrance or restraint. Freedom is the absence | ||
| + of subjection to foreign domination or despotic government. | ||
| + Freedom means people may choose their own actions in an | ||
| + environment that nurtures the full development of human | ||
| + potential. By enacting and enforcing this policy, several | ||
| + positive societal outcomes should be observed. | ||
| + </paragraph> | ||

| + <general> | ||
| + <paragraph> | ||
| + The freedom experienced by world citizens can be ranked by | ||

| + Nations that empower their citizens with the most freedoms | ||

| + The proposed treatment facility will provide enhanced primary and | ||

| + <xref id="0">system upgrades</xref> will link the facility to a new | ||
| + marine outfall at <xref id="1">McLoughlin Point</xref> and the | ||
| + <xref id="2">Resource Recovery Centre</xref>. | ||
| + </paragraph> | ||
| + <paragraph> | ||
| + The facility will use proven technology to ensure that long term | ||
| + operating and maintenance <xref id="3">costs</xref> are minimized. | ||
| + The new facility will be designed to include innovative wastewater | ||
| + treatment options. The administrative buildings will be built to | ||
| + <xref id="4">LEED Gold standards</xref>. Design and architectural | ||
| + guidelines have been incorporated into the <xref id="5">Request for | ||
| + Proposals</xref> following input from the municipalities of | ||

| + The <xref id="1">Heartbleed bug</xref>, reported in late | ||
| + 2013, allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive | ||

| + In June of 2014, two staff members of a Scarborough hospital | ||
| + were reportedly paid by external companies to | ||
| + <xref id="0">leak</xref> the contact information for 8,300 | ||
| + patients. The contact information included the patient name, | ||
| + phone number, and address. The patients were primarily | ||
| + women who became mothers between 2009 and 2013. The data | ||

| + countries with sinister motivations, the results could be | ||
| + disastrous. | ||
