Madam Speaker, I detailed, in my speech earlier, the very significant fines that companies would suffer for any contravention to this law.
I understand that what my colleague is asking for is compensation directly to consumers. As a former commercial litigator, I think there are serious issues with identifying what appropriate damages would ensue from what kinds of data breaches.
What I find so interesting about many of the provisions in this legislation is that it provides deterrence for companies not to engage in this behaviour. It would actually eliminate the behaviour that we want to discourage rather than compensating consumers after the fact.
