Banks and telecommunications companies are subject to the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector. In those circumstances, I believe that there is a way to improve recourse under that act.
Ms. Austin raised one of the problems: the burden that the individual must bear. The cost of going to court is very high, of course. We see very few people going to federal court to try and obtain damages under the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector. I even believe that people are representing themselves in court, because having the services of a lawyer is too expensive. That is another problem.
