This is exactly what I meant in my question. Basically, when you say that we shouldn't lose this power since this would eventually increase the number of complaints, I can put this in perspective.
But at the federal level, the Commissioner said she didn't need this power for the time being. However, if she had it, complaints could possibly decrease or at least companies and businesses could be persuaded, as you just said, to comply which would diminish the number of complaints. Companies would be more careful in the management of personal information.
