Patricia Davidson at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks very much, Commissioner and your colleagues, for being with us again today. Certainly we've heard a lot of interesting information, some of it a little confusing, but I think we're getting there.

I have been looking at your website and trying to keep track of the work and the reports coming out of your office. You talked a little bit in your opening remarks about your mandate. What gives you that mandate? What gives you the authority?
