Industry committee Perhaps I can help. As the chair mentioned earlier, the act actually applies to commercial unsolicited e-mails that are applied. I think the e-mails you're talking about are of a non-commercial nature so they would not be captured by this act to begin with. If the organization

Industry committee Yes, briefly. In spite of this evidence, in order to ensure that Canadians have confidence in the list, we have developed a process with the list operator--this will improve on the existing measures--to verify the identity of all individuals or telemarketers before they are allo

Canadian Heritage committee As we mentioned in our opening comments, all complaints that we've received to date have been resolvable very easily.
