I can start by reminding you of some figures; I don't know whether you missed them in our presentation or the other presentations.
CARL--this is not my Uncle Carl, this is the Canadian Association of Research Libraries--estimates that the annual expenditure by the library sector of the universities is a little over $300 million a year. The bookstores chip in another $400 million or so. That's the university sector. We add into that the college sector and then the K-to-12 sector, and we're looking at an annual expenditure of over $1 billion a year.
For you to come forward and say that somehow we're teaching people to disrespect copyright or to steal things is just offensive. And it has to stop. We have been very clear that we're not looking at fair dealing as a way to save money. This is about making the educational experience better for Canadians.
So people should just tone down on the exaggeration here. It would be really good for this debate and for this discussion.
Thank you.
