Yes, absolutely, honourable member. It has been clear for many years now—and I've always said this to the committee—that the nature of privacy online now means that privacy is an international issue.
One of my own personal focuses, and the focus of Canada when we take part in international organizations like the OECD, is to encourage cooperation and the emergence of standards that can be shared among different groups when we're faced with the doings or the developments of international companies like some that we've met here. For example, there's the EU on the one hand, the U.S. on the other hand, and then Canada, New Zealand, and Australia, which are to the side. I believe that in our annual report we give some examples.
This continues to be a very important focus for my office, because often we have to coordinate—we're a member of something called the Asia Pacific Privacy Authorities—for example, on what Australia is doing, who's going to speak for us, and what the position of Hong Kong is when faced with the same phenomenon. But if you don't do that, then you're not providing effective privacy.
