Thank you for the question.
I think that you're absolutely right. I think that your question is along the same lines as Mr. Clarke's question earlier regarding the commissioner's powers. One issue may be the lack of resources at the Office of the Commissioner. In particular, I know that the Office of the Commissioner has been conducting very little research recently, and that there used to be an entire unit responsible for research. It has reached a point where the commissioner calls on people like us on a fairly regular basis when he wants to take stock of research. I think that this shows a need within the organization.
On the other hand—and Mr. Clarke also raised this issue—at this time, many things depend on the commissioner's personality. The most recent commissioners weren't legal experts. The Office of the Commissioner may not have learned how to use these powers. The powers are set out in the act, but they aren't applied to the fullest extent possible.
