Thank you very much.

Mr. Therrien, Bill C‑27 emphasizes the need for informed consent by devoting an entire section to it. However, we have seen the rise of platforms favouring the use of opt-out formulas. These are the famous opt-out rather than opt‑in options. In your opinion, does this bill do enough to protect users of digital platforms from the pitfalls of these opt-out formulas?
