Thank you.
This question is for Ms. Callison or Dr. Lavallee.
Even the authors and publishers we've talked to in previous committee hearings are not satisfied with the Copyright Act. They're not satisfied with fair dealing. They feel their works are being stolen from them. As well, the indigenous folks we have spoken to are feeling similar things, that their knowledge, art, and copyright are also being taken from them.
Also, I believe that you have asked this committee, in your testimony, for indigenous knowledge to be protected under the Copyright Act. However, wouldn't you agree that it seems that from the perspective of the authors, who are already supposedly protected by the Copyright Act, that protection simply isn't enough? Can you comment on that?
