I have another question, if you've finished on this one. This has to do with a Supreme Court of Canada decision in 2006. It was the Attorney General versus H.J. Heinz Co. In that decision, the Supreme Court of Canada basically stated that without any binding order-making powers, the commissioner has no teeth. It was kind of a backward endorsement of what she's now asking for.

Do you have any comments on this particular decision or this indirect endorsement for changes to the Privacy Act?
