We're talking about, for example, about Bell, Videotron or any company that has a network. The network has a certain bandwidth. As Mr. Chong said, spam currently represents 90% of all traffic on those networks. So that's very costly for Videotron, Bell and Rogers. That spam is transmitted here through the information technology services of the House of Commons. They have to eliminate all spam, put filters in place, which results in costs. There are also costs for the network when it transmits all those messages that are in fact spam. No one wants them. So there's a cost, and it's quite high when you think that 90% of all communications are spam. It's a problem. The bill should solve it somewhat, or at least reduce it.
We think that our case in Canada should be resolved almost instantaneously. Canadian spammers should be neutralized quickly. The bill also contains provisions for suing spammers outside our country, either through a civil proceeding or through partnerships that will develop through the CRTC, the Competition Bureau or the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
