The answer to the first part of your question is no. Books play a central role in our culture, in global culture. Readership studies show that Canadians are reading at rates comparable to more than 20 years ago, which is good news from our perspective, given the number of media that are competing for people's time, and that is even more true of younger Canadians.
There's interesting research from BookNet Canada, which we're happy to provide to the committee, on those statistics around Canadians age 18 to 34 and their engagement with books and why they're important. The work that our members do, as independent Canadian publishers.... They are often publishing first-time writers, books that are specific to a region or a specific piece of Canadian society or history. Those are not books that are going to be published by other publishers, internationally, as Glenn said earlier.
Those are the touch points in our national debate. They are central to democracy. They are central to our Canadian identity. I could go on and on, but I'll stop there.
