It's an interesting debate. We're getting into paragraph 2(b) of constitutional law. I should highlight a change in our position, at least to a certain extent, around the appropriate scope of exceptions.
In our submission to the committee clerk earlier this summer, we suggested that we should carve out an exception for political speech, charities, non-profits, and those kinds of things. That was driven by a concern of one of our partners--with whom we were talking about partnering on some advocacy around this bill--who has a much stronger view of the scope we have to give freedom of expression from a United States first amendment perspective and not a Canadian perspective.
In the end, we decided to go our separate ways, at least to a certain extent, with respect to the advocacy we're going to do on this bill. Our view is that we wouldn't want to have an exception for political speech, charities, and non-profits, for the simple reason that communications from those organizations are in unsolicited e-mails when they have a commercial component. If they don't have a commercial component, then they're not captured by the legislation and can go through.
Our view is that the way the legislation is drafted, it is sufficiently tailored to survive a paragraph 2(b) challenge. We do view the legislation as proportional, and we don't think it will fail a minimal impairment challenge.
