In response to Mr. Benskin's intervention, I agree with him. I know he comes to us with great sincerity, but I also want to remind him that I served 18 years as an educator, and that copyright involves more than just the entertainment industry and production. It involves many Canadians from many facets and many industries, including teachers, university professors, and education administrators. It has great effect. We need to acknowledge that there are a lot of people affected by copyright, and I'm here to represent the people who sent me here, just as you are.
