I think the minister answered that question at a certain level of detail.

I could return to something that I mentioned in my introductory commentary.

We believe that the framework created in the ACTA is sufficiently broad to provide for the proposals that are currently in the legislative committee on Bill C-32, and sufficiently broad to address the different ways in which the various member countries of the ACTA grouping deal with some of these issues, which aren't the same across the membership.

We believe that a basic level of framework is provided by the ACTA, with scope for implementation in a Canadian context and in other countries.
