Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to be very quick, and I would ask you to be concise, because I have a few questions.
On this side, we understand the need for technical protection measures, in some cases, to manage digital rights and ensure legal access. But what baffles us about this government's approach is that they appear unwilling to consider simply linking circumvention penalties to actual acts of infringement. Mr. Lawford, to us this is a reasonable compromise, which will on the one hand ensure protection of creative material, and on the other hand ensure that the law recognizes the full complexity and nuance of how Canadians use media in the 21st century. Would you agree that this kind of compromise represents an improvement over the present draft? Would you expand on that for two minutes, please?
