If I could just get an answer to one part that wasn't answered. We have a Privacy Commissioner. I see the pay is over $100,000 a year. Do we really need that? Why can't we just require, by law, that every government department is required to deliver this information? Mr. Lewis said the other day it's there, it's a matter of faxing or Xeroxing the information. Why don't we just require every department, by law, to give out this stuff? Why do we need a Commissioner and staff and an independent officer to do that? Why not keep it simple, cheap, and just make it a requirement of each deputy minister and his department to develop the mechanism to deliver that information? Wouldn't that be a cheaper, easier way of doing it? Thank you.
