Guillaume Déziel

There was work done in May 2016 with the Copyright Forum in the Digital Age: Issues and Perspectives here in Quebec. This forum resulted from the recommendations of the Wise Persons' Committee. One of these recommendations was called the “anti-piracy insurance plan”. Mainly, it would be a global licence that covers non-commercial uses, similar to Creative Commons licenses. The committee didn't put it that way, but that was the gist.

I invite you to read the Wise Persons' report from that forum.

If you send us the link, we'll be able to read it.

Thank you to all of the witnesses. That was very interesting.

We are going to have to suspend now because we are moving in camera.

Thank you.
