There are some interesting things. If you don't have order-making power, you spend a lot of time thinking about how you can persuade government institutions to do a better job in terms of protecting privacy. I think it puts a premium on creativity, imagination, and some relationship-building, because there's not much sense in writing reports that have all kinds of nice recommendations if there's little prospect they're ever going to be realized.
This ties back into my earlier comment about the need to always ensure that commissioners' offices are being responsive and are accessible to Canadians, and then that they have the appropriate power to be able to ensure remedial action is taken when warranted.
