Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm interested that all three opposition parties are continuing to talk about the iPod tax, and I'm going to start on that again. It's interesting to hear Mr. Rodriguez point to a levy as somehow not being the same as a tax. If we talk to our constituents and tell them that in addition to paying what they pay now for an iPod or a BlackBerry, they're going to pay some additional amount—$10, $20, $50, whatever it might be, even $75—my constituents are going to call it a tax and they're not going to be happy about it. I think we need to encourage Canadians to adopt new technology and to be able to purchase new technology, so they can consume the creative works they want to consume and can go out and purchase those creative works. That is what's going to further the interests of the industry, in my view anyway. It also seems to me to be something that's not covered in this bill. There are lots of great things that are covered in this legislation, and those are the things that we need to talk about.
At some point, Mr. Angus' private member's bill is going to come forward, and we can vote as we agree or don't agree with his legislation. Personally, I oppose that private member's bill, but certainly we can have a good debate on that when the time comes.
In terms of this bill and what it does, I just want to talk a little bit about the digital economy, particularly as it relates to students and the ability to flourish in an increasingly digital environment.
To Minister Clement, could you maybe highlight for us how Bill C-32 expands the ability of teachers and students to make use of digital technologies and copyrighted materials for the purpose of education?
