I'd like to thank you for being here today—and to also thank your staff for helping to prepare you for today.
I want to start my questions along the line of the order-making powers being requested by the Privacy Commissioner. In 2007, when we went through a similar review, they were not requested to be part of this act. However, since then some things have changed, particularly with the Privacy Act and Access to Information Act. He now has order-making powers.
I'm hoping to get an opinion from all three groups here on whether or not you think granting the Privacy Commissioner order-making powers under PIPEDA is fair to do, or appropriate. As well, do you think it's essential that the Privacy Commissioner has order-making powers under all three pieces of legislation?
