Good afternoon, ladies. Thank you for coming.
Essentially, this bill seeks to protect trade-marks. Actually, it has to do with the value and importance of partnerships. If I were a sponsor and if I had paid substantial sums of money, I would not want everyone to be allowed to use the same logos.
Moreover, you stated that 40% of the revenues, namely $725 million, come from partnerships. If Bill C-47 had not been tabled, have we any idea of what we could get in the way of partnerships? Is it really that crucial?
