When I hear people say they want to be done by March 29th, the other message that comes through, from the government side, is that moving amendments is a waste of time because the bill will be passed without any, regardless. That is what I am hearing. If that is what the government intends to do, then say so clearly. This bill contains inadequate provisions that need to be revisited.
If the government side is so concerned about the urgency of the situation, then it should speed things along and adopt the necessary amendments to make the bill worthy of being passed. It must be recognized that, right off the bat, the bill does not at all meet current copyright needs. If our amendments are good, adopt them. Everything will move much faster. We don't need to tie ourselves to a deadline, we just need to work together.
That is all. Thank you.
