Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much for coming. I'm very pleased to have Facebook's participation in this study. Clearly Facebook has become the centre for social media around the world, certainly here in Canada. I can say as a heavy Facebook user—my wife would probably say addict—it has transformed how I do business in a riding bigger than Great Britain. It's allowed us to communicate with people. It's allowed us to hear stuff that's happening on the ground. It's allowed us to build communities. So we're fascinated by the work Facebook does.
I'm interested in the word you used from the beginning, “trust”. When I talk with students, they're all heavy Facebook users, but the sense of trust is something they're concerned about. The issue of privacy they see as being very important.
I'm seeing now, all across Facebook, people posting their own personal copyright statements, because they're afraid that, the way they read Facebook's guidelines, Facebook owns their property, not them. Is it necessary for people to post their own copyright provisions?
