That's why the European model, which is the General Data Protection Regulation, the model in Quebec, which is Bill 25, and the model proposed in Bill C‑27 provide that it's going to be a maximum amount of $10 million, for example, or 3% of sales. I think that addresses the issue you raised.

If a company has significant sales, $10 million isn't a lot; setting a percentage addresses that.
