Tom Wappel at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

I'm sorry, time is up.

Perhaps our witnesses could ponder the following, and then we'll go to Mr. Tilson.

Each of you has recommended order-making powers. The British Columbia commissioner was here, said he had his order-making powers, said he rarely if ever uses them, and—as I understood the evidence—supports the current Privacy Commissioner's lack of a call for order-making powers. The current Privacy Commissioner was the Privacy Commissioner for the Province of Quebec and had order-making powers when she was the commissioner for Quebec and now doesn't want them. I find that curious, given your unanimous recommendations.

I'm not asking for an answer, I'm asking you to ponder that while we go to other questions.

Mr. Tilson.
