I was here when Mr. Manley came and testified before the committee. Personally, I'm trying to get a more comprehensive perspective. That's why I'm telling you that, when we look at the whole, we see that it is opaque.
Some might say that they're very pleased because they're saving $25 million, of course, but, on the whole, it may not be that true.
I would even say that, in Quebec, I'm not sure the education community is that pleased about the technical protection measures, for example. I've heard a lot of people from that sector in Quebec, in the universities, among other places, say that this is a problem. People are being told that they have access to works, that they qualify for exemptions, but that, if there is a technical protection measure, they will no longer to be able to enjoy that work.
When you dig a little below the surface, you realize that there definitely isn't any consensus. The consensus is based on details. In my view, the people applauding are only there for very specific interests. I'm trying to offer you an overview that addresses the effects that this act could have.
