Information & Ethics committee  I have not.

Information & Ethics committee  I've seen some. “Quite a few” may be overstating it, but I have certainly seen some.

Information & Ethics committee  I actually think it's helpful, in the sense that I don't think the office as it's currently organized could in fact organize to cope with what I think would be a flood of requests for investigation, and even deciding which of those were trivial or not appropriate would take an en

Information & Ethics committee  No, I do not, but it may be a question of my own ignorance, as I haven't done a survey. The ones I'm familiar with do not, but that's all I can say.

Information & Ethics committee  It's very, very difficult to know, and I feel that we've been dancing on eggs, so to speak. We don't want to act as if we know what the law is going to be when we're not entirely sure.

Information & Ethics committee  I think it would probably be something in the area of $2 million to $3 million, because there are huge new data requirements, huge new reporting requirements, huge increases in the public registry.
