It sure is. And we've been waiting a long time. It goes back to my day when we were talking about this. The technology has changed dramatically since the time when I was Minister of Communications. Various ministers have attempted to modernize our intellectual property regime. It needs to be done now desperately, and we can't just push it off or else everybody loses—everybody loses. The Canadian economy loses jobs, prosperity. Artists, other creators lose. This is the best opportunity we've had for a long time to modernize the regime, and we need to do it.
