Thank you, Mr. Angus.
Bill C-11 amends the Copyright Act to update the rights and protections of copyrights owners. The amendment attempts to insert into the bill various rights of resale, including royalties of the original author of a work, and as House of Commons Procedure and Practice, second edition, states on page 766, “An amendment to a bill that was referred to a committee after second reading is out of order if it is beyond the scope and principle of the bill”, it is the opinion of the chair that the introduction of resale rights for original authors of a work is a new concept that is beyond the scope of Bill C-11 and is therefore inadmissible.
With that, there is no further discussion on the amendment.
We have a point of order.
