This has to do with the statutory damages. The original amendment is to bring clause 9 into statutory damages and follow the money. In making this amendment, we saw an omission of statutory damages in a private right of action for the Competition Act and PIPEDA. This addition is to make sure we are not limiting the statutory damages in a private right of action to clauses 6 through 9, but it also applies to the Competition Act and PIPEDA.
