"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8422693\" data-originallang=\"fr\">It's important first to point out that the Commissioner doesn't currently have decision-making authority. The Commissioner publishes an investigation report that contains recommendations and if the business doesn't want to comply with them, that's when the Commissioner or complainant can take the business to court.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8422694\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We looked into this issue and found that, from 2003 to 2024, some 50 decisions concerned an investigative report prepared by the Commissioner and that, in 70% of those cases, the court did not agree with the Commissioner's findings and investigation report.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8422695\" data-originallang=\"fr\">More recently, in a case involving the Commissioner and Facebook, the Federal Court found that the Commissioner had not discharged his burden of proof. He hadn't really made his case. It should also be noted that the Commissioner appealed that decision. As we said, since that's obviously a long process, we'll have to see how long we have to wait for a final decision in the case. It doesn't always happen that way, but it nevertheless happens often enough.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8422693\" data-originallang=\"fr\">D'abord, il est important de pr\u00e9ciser que le commissaire n'a pas de pouvoir d\u00e9cisionnel, en ce moment. Le commissaire publie un rapport d'enqu\u00eate qui contient des recommandations et, si l'entreprise ne veut pas les suivre, c'est l\u00e0 que le commissaire ou le plaignant peut poursuivre l'entreprise devant la Cour. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8422694\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Nous nous sommes pench\u00e9s un peu sur cette question et nous avons constat\u00e9 qu'entre 2003 et 2024, il y a eu \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s 50 d\u00e9cisions concernant un rapport d'enqu\u00eate du commissaire, et que, dans 70 % des cas, la Cour n'\u00e9tait pas d'accord sur les constats et le rapport d'enqu\u00eate du commissaire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8422695\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Plus r\u00e9cemment, dans le cas qui opposait le commissaire et Facebook, la Cour f\u00e9d\u00e9rale a estim\u00e9 que le commissaire ne s'\u00e9tait pas acquitt\u00e9 du fardeau de la preuve qui lui incombait. Il n'avait donc pas vraiment justifi\u00e9 sa cause. Il faut aussi pr\u00e9ciser que le commissaire en a appel\u00e9 de cette d\u00e9cision. Comme on l'a dit, c'est un long processus, \u00e9videmment, alors il faudra voir combien d'ann\u00e9es on va attendre avant qu'une d\u00e9cision soit rendue l\u00e0-dessus. Cela n'arrive pas tous les jours, mais cela arrive quand m\u00eame assez souvent.</p>"
