Yes, it is a very challenging environment. One of the things I talked about—and I think Professor Geist mentioned this as well—is that the problems are now so multi-dimensional and complex that it may be the case that they simply can't be slotted into one particular box of data protection legislation under federal jurisdiction. It may be that there are other dimensions that implicate other regimes, whether it's competition law or human rights law, or that implicate the provinces as well. So it may be that there's a need for a more multidisciplinary, multi-faceted approach to some of these issues, and that it's not necessarily to our advantage to treat or deal with the issues in specific silos.
