We've heard many witnesses here in this committee talk about the reality of authors and copyright holders in the cultural arena. We've heard what they had to say, but have the Conservatives listened to them? Is the essential mission of this legislative committee not to ensure that Canada's Copyright Act protects copyright?
Please allow me a few moments of silence.
Have the Conservatives even once clearly shown an attitude toward the authors that has done anything other than view them as spoiled children who are asking for too much support?
