Unfortunately, you didn't invite any lawyers here today, so we're not able to provide all the details behind the different legal arguments or legal considerations that there may be.
It is noted that other agents of Parliament have immunity right now for different cases and that many agents of Parliament are dealing with government more than the public. We have been looking at this question internally and trying to figure out the exact rationale for why the immunity was not included in the act when it was first brought in in 2008, so it's something that I think we want to look at again and consider.
In terms of the compliance measures, as I just said, I know that the commissioner has indicated that she would like to have more flexibility in the tools to encourage compliance, including administrative monetary penalties. There are a number of legal considerations that need to be put in place as well, or taken into account, when we're looking at these additional tools so that they are not punitive measures and are focused solely on encouraging compliance. That kind of analysis would be done if there was consideration for giving her those additional tools.
