Thank you.
It depends on the way in which you define hot issues. The definition will clearly change depending on the point of view of the person involved in them.
When I mentioned the Copyright Board of Canada, I said that it seemed to be one of the rare issues where views seem to converge at a macro level. But the moment we get into detail on the way in which we should make the Board more effective and transparent, opinions diverge. It truly is a lawyers' world, and extremely technical one.
In terms of the effect of the digital world—which is quite a macro-level issue in itself—there is certainly a convergence, but the perception of the digital effect varies. A particularly interesting feature, one that is sometimes a difficult challenge to overcome, is that categories become confused. Previously, copyright was understood in a relatively binary fashion. There were two teams: creators on one side and users/consumers on the other. In the digital world, it no longer works like that, because creators are also users at the same time.
As soon as music creators began to do sampling, they themselves became users, consumers and re-creators of content. Perception of the copyright ecosystem became a much more complex; at that point, and devising simple solutions is hard to contemplate.
To go back to your first question, we could certainly send you a list of issues that we see as figuring most prominently in our consultations. Some are obvious. Can we call them hot issues? That will depend on how you define it.
