Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I appreciate my colleagues for that.
I'll move to my questioning. I'll start with Mr. Balsillie.
I want to thank you for the work that you've done on this and many other files. I've been here for a while, and you've appeared several times in front of committees. It has been helpful.
With regard to some of the concerns that you've expressed, I do want to understand the difference that you might want for the data commissioner to be independent from the Privacy Commissioner and the Competition Bureau.
There is work being done with regard to the Privacy Commissioner in this legislation. My concern is that if we don't get that right, then there's no point in doing the second part. Maybe you can add a little bit of information there about how we make the data commissioner much more independent or robust, because you are correct that the challenges that the Privacy Commissioner and the Competition Bureau face are because the legislation they have to work under is not sufficient, in my opinion.
