I've met with hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of groups on copyright since 2008. I've always said that it's about defining the boundaries. Once people know what's legal and what's not legal, especially educational facilities and ministries and provincial governments and so forth, they're going to do what's legal. The overwhelming majority of Canadians follow the law. We know that. I appreciate that. I do think that clarity is important.
Minister, one of the things that excites me is where education is going and how technology, some of the new innovations we see, is really going to benefit education. One of the things about including education for fair dealing is that it allows some flexibility. It allows, for example, electronic boards and things that are on the Internet and so forth. Those should be incorporated as fair dealing in the classroom.
I foresee a time when perhaps textbooks aren't the medium through which we actually convey learning. It may well be through digital devices, such as iPads, or who knows. But I'm very excited, and I want to allow for that innovation to occur.
Is innovation with technology something your government supports and something you foresee happening in education?
