As I mentioned, I recognize the potential for parallels, but I actually don't think that the concern within the Canadian legal system is as great. As I mentioned, there are reasons for that, including the fact that it is tougher to even get a class action status in Canada than it is in some states in the United States. There are court costs often to be paid in Canadian actions that are not paid, in terms of the losing party in Canada, and that doesn't exist in the United States. So we have some disincentives already in place in Canada against these kinds of frivolous lawsuits.
I would note, though, that in a Canadian context we have had--and it was stunning, frankly, to me as a member of this spam task force to learn this--a series of large Canadian-based spamming organizations. We knew who they were, we knew where they were, and yet we weren't doing anything about it. And we also knew that there were organizations out there that were anxious to try to launch private actions against them and felt that they couldn't do so in Canada.
The private right of action was a recommendation, as I say, from the unanimous spam task force report, which included some of the same kinds of members you've just referred to. The business community was there. I think we had members who came forward and said if they had that kind of power here, they might do it. If you refer to the Facebook lawsuit that was brought up earlier, you'll see that Facebook sees a Canadian-based spammer that's wreaking havoc on its social network. Canadians are huge users of Facebook--there are more than seven million Canadian-based accounts on the Facebook network--and yet they couldn't look to Canadian law to try to deal with the problem. Private right of action holds the promise of doing that.
