Thank you very much for being here. I appreciate your taking the time, and I'm sure there are a lot of staff who have listened to plenty of the testimony over the months of preparing your remarks today.
You definitely hit my biggest concern on the head in your discussion on the order-making powers and your changes over the course of the year leading up to this testimony. Particularly, in March 2016, you recommended improving the ombudsman model to the investigation of complaints and wrote that the Newfoundland and Labrador hybrid model would be the best to advance the Privacy Act. Then in 2016 in a letter to our committee, you said that the adoption of the order-making powers at the federal level on balance would be preferred to the hybrid model.
You went into a bit of detail, but I want to give you the opportunity to go into a bit more on why you prefer the order-making model to the hybrid, and what led you to the decision you're at today.
