Again, based on our experience in New Brunswick--and we've had to sort of work through the same issues--we did recommend an independent information and privacy commissioner's office in our province with full order-making powers. I think that would be a natural and desirable next step federally as well.
I understand and appreciate the context of Mr. Marleau's recommendation. It's my own sense, not necessarily having discussed the matter with the federal Information Commissioner, but from my read of the proposals, it really strikes me that the Information Commissioner has put forward a series of proposals that were meant to try to achieve consensus and to get a good start on work that is long overdue. I think the committee and all parliamentarians should really seize that opportunity.
