Okay, I will be brief.
Narrowing the scope of CASL today would help encourage Canadian businesses to maintain an outdated marketing approach rather than to harness innovation and prepare to meet current challenges.
CETA has just come into force, and Europe has passed legislation that is practically a carbon copy of the Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation in order to manage all the electronic communications of the 300 million European citizens.
CASL enables Canadian companies to comply, to prepare and to gain a competitive edge over other companies that want to enter the European market.
I have about a dozen recommendations for you, but since I won't have time to go over them, I suggest that we talk about them in the debate. We will also submit a brief to you after my testimony.
