Perhaps I could answer that question.
First, fair dealing currently is an essential part of copyright law in Canada, and this is very much recognized by the Supreme Court. There are specific purposes right now in the Copyright Act for which fair dealing exists, and it includes, for example, research, private study, criticism.
The proposal is to extend it to education right now, but in a way that is not open-ended. Right now, for example, fair dealing in Canada is what permits a doctoral student to copy articles for published research, a writer to copy chapters of a borrowed book--limited uses like that. That continues to be the intent in extending fair dealing to education.
There are particular Supreme Court tests that will limit this. It's called fair dealing for a reason, and it has to be fair, so in no way is it to undermine the livelihood or the value of the creator's work; it's instead to permit particular constrained uses within structured educational context for purposes of education. So I think we can have some back and forth on what it actually allows.
There are the educational exceptions themselves, again, which are very limited. For example, on the use of material posted to the Internet, the creator will still have the right to put a digital lock on that material if he doesn't want it used; moreover, he can post something on the site that you don't want the material used either. So again it goes to the balance in the bill. It's trying to strike a balance between the interests of creators but also of educators, who are really trying to do their best to teach classes and use material that is publicly available in a balanced way.
