Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
I'm looking at the regulations section, which would be proposed subsections 41.21(1) and 41.21(2) of the bill. I don't see that any of these give the opportunity for the government to correct the major problems I see with technological protection measures, the impacts on the young mother I described, and the fact that people can't format-shift a movie they've legitimately paid for. You have a provision in cases where the Governor in Council feels that the application would unduly restrict competition in the aftermarket. That is not going to help that mother. It's not going to help the librarian.
You have the additional circumstances like where it could adversely affect the use a person may make of a work when that use is authorized. If they said when that use is lawful, it would be entirely different--in other words, if it's a non-infringing purpose where the person was using something they paid for and was just reformatting or what have you. In this case, you can imagine that a person with a disability would have to get the authorization of the company that owned the software, for example. How practical is that? I really don't see that the possible regulations under this act would resolve or overcome the major problems with it.
Thank you.
