You mentioned criminal provisions. Again, this is part of the challenge we're faced with. In July 2020, Amazon was hit with a record fine of almost $900 million U.S. by the European Union for processing personal data in violation of the GDPR rules for privacy violations.

In that particular case, were Canadians under the same privacy violation that citizens under the GDPR got reparations for? Did Canada get any reciprocal treatment for the privacy violations that may have taken place?
