Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is at the conclusion of a complaints process, where an adjudicator has found that a party has wilfully breached the act,or maliciously breached the act or repeatedly breached the act. In other words, has been guilty of discriminatory conduct in those categories, wilfully, maliciously, or repeatedly, there is the option -- it is not a requirement, but there is an option to include as part of the disposition an order for damages not exceeding $10,000.
