We did hear from representatives from survey and market research groups, and those that expressed their concerns that such an exemption was not necessary, as long as they were not trying to sell something. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1669676\" data-originallang=\"en\">This entire bill is coming forward for those businesses that are trying to sell something. They have to live up to the regime that is being proposed in the legislation. So, those survey and market research firms would be exempted from this legislation. I want to thank the hon. member for such an excellent question.</p>",

Elles doivent se conformer au r\u00e9gime propos\u00e9 dans le projet de loi. Par cons\u00e9quent, ces groupes d'\u00e9tudes de march\u00e9 et de sondage seraient soustraits \u00e0 l'application de cette mesure l\u00e9gislative. Je veux remercier le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de son excellente question.</p>"
