Thank you. I would appreciate it if you would look at that and possibly propose an actual carve-out for that specific type of work product information. But it would be specifically aggregated prescribing information.
The other point I want to get back to is the CSA standard as a model. We've heard from expert witnesses that it's actually a good model because it's a fairly light-handed model that provides a building block from the bottom up. However, when we come to the issue of consent and the definition of consent, studies have shown that a significant number of companies imply consent, and the way they obtain consent may not be as clear to the consumer as one would hope. These organizations are recommending that the whole issue of consent be tightened up so it has to be a proactive thing, rather than implied.
I'll give you an example. I received in the mail an application for a credit card saying I had been pre-approved for a $25,000 credit limit--simply sign it off. But there was a whole section on privacy. I scratched it out and wrote by hand that I consented to the use of my personal information solely for the purpose of obtaining the credit card. I did it as an exercise.
The company sent me back an application three times. So it was clear that they wanted to use my information for more than just issuing me a credit card. That's implied consent. I think it should be tightened up, but I'd like to hear from you on that.
