If not in this iteration of the bill, certainly I would want to see it in regulation, because the bill in its current form is still under the old model. Make no mistake, while I'm stating these opinions as an individual, privacy commissioners will tell you how important consent is. I don't disagree with the idea in principle. It is just to say that as a practice it's not working. We need to think about how we can bolster and support it. Maybe regulation is the proper tool for that.
