The national task force on spam was struck by the Minister of Industry, who at that time was Robillard. We presented our report to Minister Emerson, at that time recommending a bill and recommending the specific kinds of provisions that one would find in an anti-spam bill. My understanding is that the department did work on putting a bill of that sort together in response to the task force report, but didn't move forward due to the change in government.
