When we talk about the illegal drug industry, we know what it does to our families, our economy, and our kids. As a committee person here, I have to tell you that in the last week or two the awareness has gone from almost zero to the top end. I suspect it's not just politicians who don't understand or realize the impact of this; it's families and parents too.
So when we talk about the need to do studies, we don't likely understand the full impact of the drug industry. We don't fully understand the numbers that are coming in. We don't fully understand the full manufacturing of that and the impact on our economy. Yet we have laws and actions in our Criminal Code to deal with that.
Can you relate to the fact that this is something we need to know--that there really isn't recognition of the piracy and counterfeiting issue in terms of intellectual property?
