Good afternoon, gentlemen. Thank you very much for your presentation.
I want to talk about something that hasn't really been explored, something regarding consent.
Mr. Hogarth, you sent a brief to the committee, and in it you talked about a sliding scale of consent: whether it should be explicit or whether it should be implicit. I know that last year in August, ITAC proposed, in response to the OPC's call for some consultation, as the brief mentioned, a new exception to consent for legitimate business interests.
Now that we're at the point that we're reviewing PIPEDA, and also in light of the fact that in a year the GDPR is going to come online, where do you think we should go with consent? What are your opinions on this?
Mr. Smith, I don't have any readings on you, so you might want to contribute your thoughts on this matter also.
