I agree with both you and Ms. Lavallée entirely. It's indeed extremely important that businesses waste no time advising consumers in a proper manner.
I wasn't insinuating that the loss of one single day's private information was not significant. It's easy to misplace things throughout the course of the day and if you happen to misplace something in your office and are required to notify somebody immediately, I'd be afraid people would become disillusioned and an unbearable burden would be placed on small businesses.
I agree with you entirely on every other point and I would reiterate that we are working with the Canadian Federation of Independent Business in developing a number of training modules. We're currently testing some educational material with small businesses to make sure that they get the assistance they need so they don't break the law.
