Thank you very much.
I'm not sure that we have such a radically different philosophy or approach to it. I think there is a concern that if you're going to sanction administrative monetary penalities, civil damages, and things like that, you go after the appropriate targets. There is a distinction between unsolicited e-mail messages and unwanted e-mail messages. Having a categorical prohibition with exceptions that are extremely narrow and may not accord with what would necessarily be everybody's reasonable expectation can be problematic.
I agree absolutely with the interpretation of Mr. Fewer on foreign spammers. If there is a real and substantial connection to Canada, there's no reason why this piece of legislation could not apply theoretically. Whether or not one could sue in Canada and then enforce that judgment in another country would be a completely separate matter.
We also need to be mindful that we shouldn't fool ourselves; this isn't going to stop spam. Most of the spam that lands in your inbox originates from outside of Canada, and you have no way of identifying who it's coming from. This piece of legislation and the objectives that underlie it are very important, and I think we have broad consensus on that.
