Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would also like to thank each and every witness for their testimony.
My first question is for Mr. Hill, the Vice President of the Canadian Marketing Association.
You have proposed a number of changes or amendments. You have even suggested that certain clauses of the bill be amended. You also talked about the spam that circulates between the United States and Canada. Which brings me to this question: are you at all concerned about spam originating from country's other than Canada?
In Canada, Bill C-27 sets out the rules which allow for a certain amount of control. At the very least, it provides for measures that are applied within Canada. However, have you looked at what is happening outside Canada? If so, have you any recommendations to make on ways of curbing, eliminating or reducing spam originating from outside Canada?
A considerable amount of spam is indeed generated outside of Canada.
