What is the Canadian government doing to address the problem of spyware?
The Canadian government is taking action against spyware through the Electronic Commerce Branch of Industry Canada, which is examining the issue of spyware. The aim is to design a policy framework to address different issues that affect user’s confidence concerning their Internet experience. However, this framework is in its initial stage. The Office of Consumer Affairs of Industry Canada has granted funds to the Public Interest Advocacy Center (PIAC) to study the spyware phenomenon in Canada.
