No, our research actually has been limited to Canada, to trying to understand from the Canadian perspective what the information-sharing mechanisms and avenues currently in place are. I can give you an example.
We've had people complain to us and to the Privacy Commissioner about Canadian e-mail providers outsourcing to American e-mail providers. This was done by canada.com. Under the private sector law, you will recall that organizations, when they outsource, are required to ensure that the data they are outsourcing is subject to a comparable level of protection.
The question is, when you outsource to an American company, is that data still subject to a comparable level of protection, or is it, by virtue of the Patriot Act, automatically given a lower level of protection? The Privacy Commissioner, in a couple of initial findings on this, one in relation to CIBC, found that it was comparable, because of all the information-sharing arrangements in place.
We're not ready to accept that conclusion. We believe there are a number of reasons why it probably is easier for the FBI to access the information when it's in the United States than when it is in Canada and held by Canadian companies. We were trying to do the research to prove our point. We found it extremely difficult to uncover the apparently hundreds of information-sharing agreements and arrangements out there.
