That's good. Well, I'm glad to be here today to have the opportunity to talk to you about a number of things.
You pointed out that you would like to have legislation in this particular area. I would like your committee, quite frankly, to have a look at the discussion paper. Again, I look forward to all proposals you make with respect to this and indeed the Privacy Act.
With respect to a commitment to introduce legislation or a timetable on that, it's very difficult. One of the things I learned as the government House leader is that trying to predict when legislation will get through the House of Commons is very difficult. If you had said to me in February of 2006 that it would take the government two years to get through its Tackling Violent Crime Act, I never would have guessed that. But in fact it did; it took us about two years to get those components and put them together. I guess I learned a lesson with that. Trying to predict what we will get to and when a piece of legislation might get passed, if and when it is introduced, is a very risky business. I've seen that from this portfolio, and indeed as the government House leader.
Again, you're welcome to have a look at that, study that, and call witnesses in conjunction with or after the Privacy Act. Certainly I would be glad to have all recommendations on that and this, or indeed any other piece of legislation.
