Thank you very much.

Thanks, everyone, for really continuing to confuse me over this very complicated situation.

First, to Mr. McArthur, what's the use of provincial or territorial boundaries in describing PIPEDA? We're seeing that Europe seems to have a more robust set of regulations and penalties, and we're not able to come up to their standards—so far, although maybe we will through these discussions. On the question of equivalency, should these kinds of regulations be made by a larger body rather than by many territorial or provincial bodies in order for it to really work properly in the world that we live in?
