Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning to all of you. Thank you for coming.
This is a very important piece of legislation to me, because in my riding of Richmond Hill we have over 7,000 small businesses. The majority of them have one to four employees, and they use the Internet extensively to be able to promote their products and services. They don't have the budget to be able to hire a large marketing company. Therefore, this legislation directly impacts a large portion of the businesses in my riding.
Having said that, I just want to quickly highlight the area of interest I want to explore with each one of you.
Mr. Smith, you touched on cybersecurity, consent, PRA, and proportionality. I really want to start with cybersecurity with you. I have a question for each one, so if you could limit your comments on cybersecurity to about a minute, I would really appreciate it.
Can you expand the area of concern? You touched on it, and then you went to other areas such as consent. What's the concern with cybersecurity, and what's a recommendation?
