Who could possibly be against calm, informative consultations? I obviously encourage you to engage in such consultations.
As I said in my presentation, I believe we should be proud, both in Parliament and in Canada as a whole, of having passed legislation that didn't force us to predict every single technological development, because we took a neutral position in terms of the technology. We focused on services for Canadians, whatever the technology used to deliver them. And I believe that continues to be the case.
That is why we have that flexibility and can carry on our activities, including things like the Internet. I am not saying it's easy, nor am I saying one can predict future events; however, the framework in which we are working is flexible enough that we are able to react fairly quickly to any developments.
When we attend international conferences, people come to us for advice, because they recognize that this is an area that is well developed here. I cannot stress that enough -- namely that we have created a system here, within a very flexible and robust legal framework, that we can continue to work with for a number of years yet, while considering new developments that occur from time to time and with the certainty that we are on the right track. I see no major issues in that regard.
Finally, just to answer your colleague, Mr. Malo, I would say that what is important for me is to leave the job with the sense that the system is strong from a cultural, commercial and technological standpoint. We should always be judged not on our words, not on statements made by others or by ourselves, but rather, on the basis of concrete facts. I believe that we have good reason to be proud here in Canada. I, personally, am proud.
