If we want our digital economy to grow and be stronger, we need to make it better aligned with our competitors. As Michael noted, Canada's software provisions are an outlier compared to those of the rest of the world. The requirements in CASL are completely different from the requirements in CAN-SPAM, the U.S. legislation, which is much more principles-based.
If we want to build a strong and robust digital economy, we need to be engaging with the world and not inhibiting our companies by putting in unnecessarily strenuous requirements; and we need to be working through organizations such as the OECD, APEC, and the G20 to develop interoperability where we can, because the ICT industry really is the most globalized industry in the world.
