Finally, I would like to discuss an issue of importance to Canada's current and future access to the digital economy. The copyright bill, Bill C-32, is positive in many respects, as it moves many current fair use practices, supported by the courts, into legislation. However, if this bill is passed as proposed, these rights can be taken away through the lock provisions within the bill. We encourage all members to look at this bill carefully as it relates to the future of digital access.
To finish, our submission asks members to consider: one, the need for increased investment in support of the digital economy; two, the potential of e-learning to support the digital economy; and three, the need for further consideration of changes to Bill C-32.
The university would welcome the opportunity to engage in further dialogue on any of these topics.
Thank you very much.
