Thank you.
Professor de Beer, you talked about the constitutionality of the bill, the technological protection measures provisions, in relation to the possibility of an intrusion on section 92 responsibilities or jurisdiction of the provinces.
I'm wondering what you think about the suggestion Dalhousie law professor Graham Reynolds has made, for instance, that:
If the bill is passed in its current form, users, consumers, follow-on creators, and future innovators can effectively be prevented from exercising their rights...through the application of a digital lock.... Such an amendment risks impoverishing the values underlying the constitutionally protected right to freedom of expression....
What is your view on that constitutional issue?
