Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I apologize for my leaving off and on during the meeting. There are world events that particularly complicate my riding in Windsor and the Detroit region. I apologize if I repeat something or miss something, but I will go back and listen to the rest of the stuff I've missed from the witnesses.
Mr. Therrien, I do want to ask a question about a certain situation. The Competition Bureau recently had to pay a fine for investigating the Shaw takeover by Rogers and opposing it; and it ruled against them. Through other testimony we learned it might be the same process that could happen here for the privacy commission in this legislation. We have to sort that out, because I was told something from one, and we had different testimony from another.
Again, with the tribunal, I know you have a little more to offer. On creating this type of a body, do you really think it could undermine the strength of the privacy commission in general? I worry about that, because I know that the United States doesn't have this model; but for ourselves, it has actually served Canadians quite well.
I'd like you to expand on the vulnerability if we change the route that we have right now.
