I will be sharing some of my time with Mr. Virani.
I think the four recommendations you came up with at the beginning, Mr. Johnston, are pretty similar to things we have been hearing through all of the testimony, and Mr. Lavallée's question with respect to how we have come to have a system in which we have moved from protecting authors to protecting users is then contained within that.
Are there some principles that underlie all of these recommendations? Is there a set of principles we might look at because we don't know what the future will bring in terms of digitization? You made reference to blockchain and the issues around that.
Are there some principles that should be inherent in these recommendations that made reference to the issue of equity? I'm not sure exactly what equity means. It probably means something different to each shareholder or each segment of the industry. Are there some foundational principles we should be looking at that underpin a number of the recommendations, for instance the four recommendations that have been made for virtually all of the testimony we have received, some things we might look at that will give us a little more endurance into the future?
