I don't have direct experience with the order-making powers in Alberta. It's all basically hearsay. I will reiterate what was said earlier, that it creates a gap between the businesses that are involved in those processes and the commissioner. What I will say about PIPEDA is that I don't think anyone could point to an example where the commissioner has done an investigation and the judiciary has pronounced on it, and there hasn't been a resulting compliance.
Is it necessary for the commissioner to have order-making powers? I would suggest no. The system is working quite well right now, and changing it would change the dynamics.
