Thank you, Minister, for being here this afternoon. I appreciate your willingness to meet with us again. You've been here before, and you'll see a theme in my question today.
Last time we talked about new technologies and their effect on culture. Since then you've announced a section 15 review of these new technologies. Canadians have been inundated, as have other countries, with new technologies like high-definition televisions, computers, and the Internet. We're accessing cultural types of media from other places. We have MP3 players, satellite radio, and the list goes on and on. You just have to go to any big-box retail store and find that we have just unlimited possibilities in accessing culture. There's no question that these new types of technologies are bringing in Canadian-based media, but they're also bringing in media that aren't necessarily Canadian-based.
I'm looking for specifics about the review and what types of technologies are being looked at. Are we only looking at technologies on the market today, or are we looking into the future at what might be coming on stream? I guess none of us can tell the future; if we could we'd maybe be in a different business. But we certainly have to look at what might be coming on stream in the future to ensure that we, as a society, protect the culture here in Canada.
So I'm wondering if you could elaborate a bit on the review and give us some specifics on the technologies that have been looked at.
