Industry committee  Let's make no mistake. Legitimate companies spam, too. They do, all the time. Matt and I have been doing it for 20 years. The amount of non-compliance among legitimate companies is high. CASL has put a stop to that. On Internet of things updates, I think we could talk for hours,
