I'm aware of that, but that's precisely my point. We around this table don't know what that's going to look like. I get that's how regulation works, but the uncertainty.... Again, we come back to that word “uncertainty”, because it's for up to a year. We don't know what type of metadata is going to take priority. We don't know whether location services are going to be there for up to a year.
A year is a long time. I understand that the argument has been made that we need this, but no one has asked, “Why a year?” That's another point. We have asked about industry standards. Australia has two years. Sweden has 10 months. There are also nuances there, but there's that uncertainty again.
Another reason for uncertainty is in proposed section 14, and that is the duty to assist. If I was a business owner, I think that I could rightfully fear this. Does proposed section 14 not conceivably require an electronic service provider to create hardware or software to bring it up to government standards, so to speak, so that the data can be retained? I hope that question is clear.
