"First, to put it colloquially, the call for stronger enforcement through order making powers, the ability of the OPC to impose meaningful penalties, including fines, is by now a total no-brainer. As Michael Vonn of the BCCLA recently testified before you, “there is no longer any credible argument for retaining the so-called ombudsperson model.” This has already been acknowledged by Commissioner Therrien, and former Commissioners Stoddart and Bernier, fortified by testimony from Canadian jurisdictions that already have order making power, which Commissioners Clayton and McArthur have described as advantageous. Strong investigatory and order making powers are a necessary component of effective privacy enforcement, especially in a global environment. Lets get it done."
