The first point would be to have very clear incentives from Canadian public authorities so that the large operators of social media sites who do business in Canada develop this mechanism on their own. You let sites and the businesses that operate these sites determine the mechanisms they want to put in place based on their experiences, their products and their business culture in order to have the best input possible.
The idea of this type of mechanism will be a trial and error process. We don't have a choice. It will probably be a trial and error process. If it works well, it will lighten things up for the courts and will enable a more constructive dialogue. If it doesn't work, we will see that, meaning, that the complaints and concerns we have currently will continue.
I would also like to raise a very important point. Canadians are currently very concerned about their right to privacy. That's a fact. In survey after survey, Canadians are telling us that they are particularly concerned about the current trend in the digital world. They are also indicating that they have very little trust in the confidentiality policies of the major social media sites.
The rules do not currently work adequately. What we are seeing when there are solutions that go before the courts is that a very heavy burden rests on the shoulders of a few individuals who have the skills, resources or desire to set a precedent. That's not how you manage a large-scale problem. Our solution, which is to create a privacy charter that all big operators of social media sites should comply with, would include a formal commitment on the part of the big operators of social media sites to develop and put in place such procedures. They would have to determine how they would do it. The idea would be that there would at least be an initial step so that we would move away from a dynamic of confrontation and opposition to one that involves productive dialogue.
I don't know if that answers your question.
