Thank you.
Mr. Chair, as you know, we have raised a number of concerns about the need to modernize copyright to ensure that artists are able to be remunerated in the changing marketplace. One way of doing that would be to introduce the artist's resale right. It may be decided that it's beyond the scope of the bill, but we think it is an important issue.
We have brought an amendment forward on that to clarify the rights of artists who are involved in the art market, with regard to this ability at galleries and other public sales. The resale of their work, that 5% royalty, would provide stability for artists, so we would like to have that added to the bill.
