Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Welcome, everyone. It's nice to have you with us.

In one of your recommendations you suggest that grounds for an application for Federal Court review be brought to include a full array of privacy rights and protections under the Privacy Act and then to grant the Federal Court the power to award damages under that. I'm interested in that. To what extent would you propose to use that power?
