I thank the member for bringing the motion forward.
I know that as part of our identity theft study that we're undertaking right now we'll be having representatives from telecom before us, or I'm hoping that we'd put them on an approved list, at some point.
Obviously, we've discussed it. We won't be supporting the motion right now. We think that as part of our identity theft study this might be an opportunity for us to engage a bit further, perhaps with telecoms and other service providers. In the context of our identity theft study, we had spoken separately with committee members about potentially bringing in the commissioner as we approached the conclusion of our identity theft study.
So if the member would consider putting it on hold for now, let's see what we can get through as part of our study on identity theft, and perhaps we could consider.... I know that all committee members would probably agree with me that we've made some really good progress on identity theft. We had wanted to perhaps consider extending that study a little bit further to tackle some of these other issues that have come up as part of the study.
In summation, I guess what we're saying is not at this time, but as part of our identity theft, perhaps we want to expand our witness list to include not only the telecom but other service providers, so that we can have them before us. As we said, perhaps towards the end of our identity theft study we could consider not only bringing in the commissioner but other individuals who have opened certain doors to us, and calling them back as well. Perhaps the member would be amenable to that. At the same time, I think we should probably look at other committees, I guess public safety, to see if this is before them or not.
In conclusion, I know that the commissioner was in front of the Senate recently, I'm told...?
