In my context I can't comment on the appropriateness of the power for the Office of the Privacy Commissioner, but I can certainly say that within the Competition Bureau framework the administrative monetary penalty regime is working quite well. It is effective at achieving compliance with the law and in garnering results for Canadians, and avoiding lengthy and costly litigation that is associated with litigating a case.
Of course, when we're before the tribunal or the courts, and when we're assessing the quantum of an AMP, we're taking into consideration a number of aggravating and mitigating factors, which I think I outlined in my opening remarks. These would be taken into consideration in terms of what the right number is in a particular case.
Within our context, the administrative monetary regime is quite effective.
