I won't speak directly to that. I think the present Privacy Commissioner can certainly inform you about that. But there was a government study made of that in 2005, with a very important Supreme Court justice who recommended keeping the offices separate.
On the other hand, I notice in looking around the world that Canada is probably one of the last jurisdictions to have separate commissioners. I believe Australia is putting both offices together, and so on.
I think the government will have to make that decision and examine the practical consequences in the Canadian system of either keeping the status quo, which was the last expert recommendation, or of moving ahead.
Certainly, there is the important issue and fact—as some of the people who have appeared before you have noted—that the acts are read together. That's what the Supreme Court has said. Many parts of them are identical. They refer one to the other. So if you change the Access to Information Act in the way we changed it in Newfoundland, for example, then you have to ask yourself parallel questions about the Privacy Act.
