The short answer is yes, in two respects.

When the British parliamentary committee published the documents from Six4Three, we saw references to the Royal Bank, and we considered whether to look at this particular aspect in the context of our investigation into Facebook and AIQ. As we were doing this, we received complaints from individuals on whether or not the Royal Bank was violating PIPEDA in some way in receiving information in that way. So that question is the subject of a separate investigation.
