Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm trying to understand the issue here. My impression is that nobody would have any problems with teachers going and getting whatever is the best material, especially with more and more material being available. I don't think anybody has any objections to teachers going and getting the best material for teaching purposes.
My sense is that the issue here ultimately is about money. That's my impression. I don't think there's any law that prevents anybody from going and getting any material they want. At the moment, they may have to pay for it, but nobody is saying you can't have it. Copyright doesn't say you can't have it. Copyright says you can have it if you pay for it.
Am I understanding the issue here? Is it ultimately an issue related to money? On the one hand, there are those who feel they're not being paid, but on the other hand, there is a strained school board system. Is that how you see it?
