Thank you, Madam Chair.
Good morning to everybody. Thank you to our witnesses this morning.
My first questions will be for you, Ms. Levy, Access Copyright.
At the last meeting we had Michael Geist in. He had some opinions on obviously many things. I'm going to read some of his quotes. I'm looking for a response. It reads:
Access Copyright’s response to the Copyright Board that the legislative change merely codifies the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence is surely wrong given that the legislation received royal assent on June 29, 2012, two weeks before the Supreme Court of Canada’s Alberta v. Access Copyright ruling. Moreover, since those decisions were based on the research and private study purposes, the addition of education must have meant something more than what was already found in the law. The inclusion of education as a fair dealing purpose was better viewed evolutionary rather than revolutionary, representing a compromise between those calling for a full fair use provision and those seeking to further restrain fair dealing.
Can you give me a response to his comment?
