This is a circumstance that many Canadian businesses are confronted with, and what we're suggesting would actually protect those businesses. They aren't the businesses that are establishing websites and saying, “E-mail me. Here's my e-mail address.” You're referring to businesses that aren't doing anything that would invoke business relationships or implied consent situations. The regime I'm suggesting would protect those businesses you're referring to, because they receive e-mail, there's no express consent, and there'd be no way to even argue an implied consent. So I think the situation would be adequately dealt with.
