I'll commence by saying that it was a couple of generations before my time. But, yes, I think that retailers, while not necessarily a driving force behind amendments to PIPEDA, would be generally supportive of anything that would allow for the speedy resolution of anything that was either occurring or about to occur. To perhaps restate what my colleague has said, the retail sector is generally supportive of this, primarily not just because of the specific provisions that are included in the bill, but because it supports PIPEDA, which retailers already have a very high level of compliance with, and that is working very well specifically because of its outcomes-oriented and technology-neutral approach.
