Thank you very much.
Thank you for appearing before us today. We appreciate your taking the time to join us and bring your expertise and enthusiasm for this bill. I'm sure I speak for all my colleagues around this table: everyone is anti-spam, if I can use that term. We just want to make sure we have the best legislation possible, so thank you for taking the time today to share with us your stories and expertise.
I only have about seven minutes, so I'm going to be kind of rapid-fire in some of my questions. I'd appreciate it if I could get very rapid-fire responses.
First of all, Bill C-27 is very broad in scope in some of its definitions and very narrow in some of its exceptions. Mr. Geist, you pointed that out right from the very beginning of your testimony, talking about how the broad scope kind of captures all of what we're trying to deal with here in terms of anti-spam, but the exceptions really are defined. I think your view is that the bill itself does a good job in giving some of those exceptions. Did I capture that kind of neatly?
