I'll just say a few words. I think in terms of the lack of data there are two issues. There is the data that exists already, which is fragmented, and that we need to find incentives, sometimes negative incentives, for organizations to make this data public and available, and to aggregate it and consolidate it. Then there is the data that we need to collect because no one else has it. The perfect example is the victimization survey. Statistics Canada collects this data every four or five years, and with the trend of technology and the speed of this phenomenon I think we need to collect this data on a much more regular basis.
This is not a very expensive undertaking. Running a Canada-wide survey wouldn't cost a lot of money, but it would need to be conducted by a lead agency. I like this idea of having one lead agency being responsible for this issue and being funded to try to collect and to consolidate the existing data.
Thank you.
