We received additional financial support in the last budget in connection with Bill C-27 so that we can do the work to prepare for the coming into force of this bill, if Parliament decides to pass it. That is a good thing, as I mentioned.
If this bill is passed as it now stands, we expect my office to have additional responsibilities, for example, the authority to make orders and to recommend financial penalties. What is more, there will be more stringent requirements for the complaints process and we will be responsible for reviewing the organizations' codes of practice. Those are all positive things that will expand our role. That being said, we have determined that we will need additional resources to do our work properly.
