Thanks very much for joining us today.

There is a statement in your comments that to me really stands out, which is, “Unfortunately, our lack of funding for these activities is adversely impacting our ability to effectively deal with breaches.” How serious a problem is that in terms of court actions and so on? For instance, how many of the investigations actually lead to court actions?

Also, would you comment on how many of the breaches would be criminal in nature versus somebody throwing into the garbage a bag that happens to have in it all of the information of the Privacy Commissioner or members of Parliament?

Could you comment on the seriousness of this inability to effectively deal with breaches?

See context to find out what was said next.
