Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm not a lawyer, so I probably need some things clarified. That's probably a good thing. I've had some experiences with tribunals, particularly in my 12 years of being a municipal mayor. Actually, I'm of the view that these tribunals happen to expedite the situation. They allow us to develop expertise, as we've heard over and over again. I've seen them work effectively, particularly in the province of Ontario. I have some concerns around the uneven playing field that we're looking at in the absence of a tribunal.
For an issue going to the Privacy Commissioner, what would that cost? My vision of an infringement of privacy is that it will likely involve the big guys with the big platforms versus someone who's had their privacy violated. I see that right from the very beginning there's an uneven playing field in terms of resources and dollars. What do you see as the initial stages? What I saw with the municipal board was that, if residents had an issue, they could attend the municipal board and not have to engage legal counsel and they could be heard. First the counsel would hear what they had to say, and then the municipal board would hear what their issues were.
Let's start from stage one. If someone has an issue with Meta, what do they do and what's it going to cost them approximately?
