When I was commissioner, there was a lot of talk in this committee about sanctions. I think there should be a review of the sanctions the commissioner could recommend. The commissioner can't impose sanctions. He's nobody's boss, except those who work in his office. However, recommending sanctions can put real pressure on the Prime Minister, who is, under the act, the final arbiter of all these decisions. In the case of the code, the House of Commons is the final arbiter.
