I apologize for being late.
Mr. Simons, I appreciate that you sent us your brief in advance so that I could look through it. I think I know the position of eBay and Mr. Geist quite well.
I want to talk about the levels of privacy protection around this e-commerce. I know, Mr. Geist, that you've been critical of the fact that there have been voluntary undertakings in our agreements so far. How can the government help SMEs and their customers around these particular rules of privacy? How important is it to Canadians and Canadian consumers?
You mentioned the TPP. Can you expand a little on maybe some of the things we could incorporate into trade agreements to have growth for SMEs but also protect our privacy?
