It is not surprising that the government wants to set a deadline for students' use of materials; they set deadlines for everything. Once again, discussions are being shut down this afternoon.
We don't understand the logic behind this provision in the legislation, especially since almost everyone in the student community uses digital materials right now. And now those materials are supposed to be destroyed after 30 days. Gentlemen, this is not the gun registry.
Everyone on this committee is free to have their own political opinion. But one thing is clear. When a number of representatives from universities, colleges and student associations say that this does not make sense, we should perhaps listen to them. We just don't understand why the government is so adamant about having lecture notes, lessons and all other materials destroyed.
Mr. Moore, I just don't understand that.
We hope that they will work with us to improve the bill by removing that provision.
