I'd like to first of all address something that was raised by Ms. Lavallée. She didn't really give you an opportunity to comment extensively on that.
As you know, this bill moves us to legitimize more of what users do every day, whether it's time-shifting, format-shifting, mash-ups, and of course fair dealing, the education exemption. Ms. Lavallée—and I'm going to paraphrase her because I don't have the direct translation here—said that everyone agrees that it's a poor signal to send out if we expand fair dealing to include education.
There are some who have articulated that view here at committee. It has been a minority view, certainly not everyone. In fact, my impression is there has been overwhelming support for expanding fair dealing to reflect the realities of today's world—not only to reflect those realities but to ensure that Canadians have the ability to expand knowledge, to build on knowledge.
Perhaps you could comment. You spoke generally favourably of the educational exemption contained in Bill C-32. I'm assuming you do support it. Perhaps you could mention some of the benefits that we'll derive from fair dealing that includes an education exemption.
