Mr. Speaker, I can only speak on behalf of the members of Parliament who have participated in the process over the last number of months. I believe they have heard 60 representations which represent thousands of Canadians. It is a very significant piece of legislation and will complement existing copyright laws which date back a number of years.
I only hope that the work the members of the committee have put into the copyright process will be respected. I certainly have no reason to suspect that the work of the members is irrelevant. In fact members on all sides have made very significant contributions. We expect to entertain approximately 60 or 70 amendments precisely because of the work by members of the standing committee.
