Thank you.
Thank you for coming today. At the outset I'll say congratulations. I think the productions that are coming out of Canada in the last four or five years are almost unparalleled in terms of the quality of work that's come out of Canada since I can remember. I don't know why it is, but it seems to me there's a real renaissance in Canadian film, television, and independent productions. Of course, we want to make sure that continues.
I have a number of questions in terms of just trying to figure out how we're going to do this. The question of TPMs is certainly crucial to this bill. We certainly support the need to use TPMs to protect business models, to ensure that the investments creators make aren't just sent up the chimney as soon as their works are released.
You talk about support for the parody and satire provisions, yet if there's a digital lock on a product, they won't be able to excerpt it for parody and satire. Is there a balance so we can say if someone's doing it for parody and satire, they can circumvent the digital lock, or do you just say you have parody and satire, but if there's a digital lock, they don't have that right?
