In reality, it's only a small doctrinal debate. It means practically the same thing.
The idea that the legislation is based on principles is meant to allow greater flexibility, to set limits and, as Professor Scassa said earlier, to allow small and large companies, the mobile and health world to adapt.
The current act evokes great principles in some way, but not at the same time. To understand a principle, you need to read the text of the act in three different places. As with some laws, perhaps the idea would be to gut everything. It is a matter of trying to agree on what the main principles and the number should be. Then, after the mandatory sections in which the title is defined, the first principle can be described, then the second, the third and so on. Then it can be made very clear what the limits are and what the recourse of the users and the powers of the commissioner are.
