Mr. Chair, could I address Mr. Dubé's question?

Yes, intellectual property and strengthening intellectual property is critical in this industry, as it is in all of the content industries.

I would like to quickly make a pitch for the federal government signing the Beijing Treaty on Audio Visual Performances, which was just passed at WIPO in June this year. It would help very much to strengthen the intellectual property rights of both performers and producers of video games if the federal government would sign that treaty.

Thank you.
