On the question of proactive verifications, I'll say this. The idea is not to be a thorn in the side of governments or companies that want to innovate responsibly. The point is that data flows are so complex and business models are so complex that individual Canadians are not well placed when identifying violations of private [Technical difficulty—Editor] and that a body like the OPC is better placed, not to go after thousands of companies a year, but on a risk basis to, again, go under the hood in a number of places where we think there might be risks so that we can either reassure Canadians that the law has been respected or intervene and sanction companies that have not complied with the law, so that confidence in the system is enhanced.
