Getting back to Mr. McColeman's concern, we are in favour of prosperity for everyone; we simply want to participate in it. The rules that are in place ensure that all those whose works are involved in generating this prosperity get their share. The Copyright Board studies the value of everyone's contribution, establishes a right, and each party is invited to defend his point of view. The board does this work, and so it is strange that the government wants to intervene to eliminate something that is already in place, works well and has been validated by an administrative tribunal. The rules are clear and we would like them to stay that way.
