The issue of outsourcing is actually one of the matters that we did not address or highlight in the presentation this morning. Canadian Central does have a position on outsourcing. Recognizing that, for the most part, outsourcing is a business reality, as pointed out by our colleagues, credit unions generally don't have the size and scope for the same bargaining power in outsourcing agreements that other larger organizations, particularly federally regulated organizations, might have. That said, there has been discussion among members of Canadian Central about the need to share information with other jurisdictions. The general feeling at this point is that the mechanisms already in place are appropriate, so that perhaps the Privacy Commissioner does not need a direct mechanism, as might have been contemplated in some of her submissions, since there are other mechanisms in place for information sharing at that level.
