Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, witnesses, for being here today.
One of the concerns that has been expressed on a regular basis is that the legislation needs to be adapted, changed, or updated, because of the international spamming that's taking place. For that reason alone, it's not very valued, and it doesn't go back to the discussion or history where Canada really was a safe haven from spam before CASL. In fact, we were known internationally as being an outlier. You mentioned your Dutch involvement and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. Can you highlight specifically what we could do to advance international support to get at spam, and how the international community needs to deal with this?
Spyware is one thing with regard to privacy, but we also see it heightened to ransomware and other things of that nature. I see a tool that we have, but I'm a bit concerned that we haven't provided the proper opportunities with regard to sharing it internationally. You mentioned the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, and also other international efforts that could be enhanced to protect Canadians if we actually make some changes.
Can you flesh that out a little bit, please?
