Yes, it is true that we would like to be able to contact a prospective customer or consumer initially to request his or consent at that time. Obviously, we are not suggesting that strict parameters be put in place to govern the initial contact, but rather that some provision be made for this contact in the legislation. That is what we are proposing. We feel that an amendment of this nature would enable us to carry out legitimate business activities, without compromising either the intent or aims of the legislation.
