I would like to answer. It is not a privilege, it is left to the discretion of the privacy commissioner. It is a process that she established, but it is up to her to decide if she will disclose or not. Most privacy commissioners do not publicize the names for the time being, but they can change their practise from one day to the next. It is their choice. These decisions are not good only for the company which is the subject of a complaint, but for all of us. For example, we chose those examples or decisions in order to provide guidance. These matters are rather indistinct.
