I do know that one of the recommendations that came out of the spam task force was on the resource side. One of the barriers that we consistently encountered was that there were agencies or enforcement agencies that were willing to take action, or said they were willing to take action, but there was a resource problem.
Are the enforcement provisions deficient? I think on paper they are. I will tell you that throughout the process of the anti-spam task force, we consistently looked for action from some of these enforcement agencies, and frankly we had a hard time getting it. In fact it hasn't come up, but I launched the first anti-spam privacy complaint under PIPEDA with the Privacy Commissioner's office. It was a successful complaint in the sense that it was found to be well founded, but it didn't really get much further than that.
I realized from that, and I think other people realized throughout that process, that it's going to take a clear mandate so that enforcement agencies understand that this is a priority of government. It became very clear that the way you do that is you pass legislation that really targets it, and then you resource it appropriately. That's clearly what Bill C-27 is trying to do.
