Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for being here.
I represent many businesses in my community that do not want to have innovation stymied by unnecessary maintenance of emails they do not want, viruses, and other scams that occupy their time, especially when they don't have IT people on staff and have to rely on subscribers. I also come with a different perspective. I mentioned this last time, and I'll mention it every time: I view it as a privilege that this type of advertising appears on something you pay for, something you maintain, something on which you pay for the data downloaded to you. To email me advertising is a privilege, not a right.
With regard to Rogers, if I'm correct, it was a problem with the “unsubscribe” that led to that, and it turned out to be something that others were involved in.
Can you give me an example of that? How could it be done to allow for a quicker resolution? There are others such as Compu-Finder that were fined as well, but they were well-known spammers going back to 2008. What can you say about the two different cases? There are others that have been fined, like Plentyoffish, which is an online dating site that bogs down business. These are the types of problems we're facing.
