No, I don't think they're hampered. I know when I was in Quebec that Quebec is very proud it had the first private sector legislation.
You have a law that's set up with order-making power in the cases of those two provinces. I think it's working well in those two provinces within that constituency. I think it's one thing to say it's working well there; it's another thing to take a law that hasn't yet been fully applied and to say, well, after five years let's start again. And that is what I am saying.
You must also be mindful, or doubtless you know, Mr. Chairman, that the model of the ombudsman was chosen because that is the model with which the Privacy Commissioner enforces public sector legislation. It is also the model for the Information Commissioner and for the Commissioner of Official Languages. Because it is this unique federal model, that is why it was chosen for PIPEDA. It was the available model. To change it at this point I think would be very detrimental to the enforcement of private sector privacy in Canada.
