Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you all for participating on this important topic.
A couple of words came out that I want to echo back. I want to get your input on a topic that, in my mind, needs a little more clarification. I need some guidance, at least.
A number of times there was discussion around gaps existing. This is the gap between the content creators getting fairly compensated and quality content being available for the users.
Reasonable limits and the nature of work were discussed. Is there an issue with the interpretation of the act? Are there concerns around definition and clarity of the act? Are there issues around open interpretation that allows that much flexibility for someone to drive 100 kilometres and then somebody else drives around 150 kilometres? Is there an over-application of the act in other areas that doesn't need to be there? Is there a scope issue? Do we have an oversight issue? Is there an issue with the process? Do we have a punitive damage process?
Help me try to figure this out.
Mr. Thompson, you touched on a number of recommendations, and as fast as I was trying to write.... I think you would be a great start to this.
