Definitely. When Commissioner Marleau appeared before the former incarnation of this committee, he spoke about the education mandate and research mandate. For sure, if you look across Canada and other jurisdictions, information commissioners and certainly the privacy commissioner do have education and information mandates, and it does make a difference in terms of the work we can do: do some research in terms of the performance and in terms of what's going on in other jurisdictions to inform the debate here in Canada. We do a little bit of that, but we do it on the corner of the desk at this point.
