I'll be brief, but I just want to follow up with you, Mr. Sherman. We talked about a couple of issues relevant to privacy and data management. My colleague talked about how some of the data, obviously, has ended up where it shouldn't have.
My concern is that, with technology and social media today, we're not dealing with a perfect science. There's still a lot of flux, if you like, in the development and growth of your technology and others.
We visited Washington, and we've talked to other commissioners such as the FTC. We heard that the EU has just established a new framework, and the U.S. under President Obama has established a new framework of guidelines and controls. My concern is that we're hearing from other leadership organizations that are saying we've got to tighten the regulations, we've got to put tougher regulations out there. Now, Facebook is a leader, but you've got a lot of competition out there, smaller organizations who I think operate on a push-the-envelope-and-apologize-later approach.
Do you have a comment on the actual regulations? We're looking at the possibility that one of our recommendations may well be to give our commissioner more authority and greater control over the environment that she has to deal with, and I wonder if you have a comment on that relative to the more global network you're planning. We heard about Ireland. We heard about some of the other areas where you have to be conscious of it. You don't operate from Canada at this point; it just comes across the border out of your U.S. operations.
What would be your recommendation relative to governance of technology through our privacy commissioner in terms of what you're seeing with other jurisdictions, and should we be providing more stringent governance for our commissioner to operate under?
