I'm not sure about the particular territorial licensing arrangements in that example, but I do know it's very common for Canadian businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises and large businesses like Costco, to engage in parallel importation to offer consumers more choices, to promote pricing parity with other jurisdictions. I think the trademark aspects of this bill deal with that fairly well, but I'm very worried about the copyright language in the copyright section. I couldn't understand that this bill will assure us that parallel imports will be permitted, in respect to the copyright provisions, in particular.
