I call the meeting to order.
Welcome, everybody, to meeting number 112 of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology as we continue our study on the legislative review of the Copyright Act.
If you've been following along, you've probably seen that we've already had quite a few witnesses. This is day four of our road trip, and it's been very successful. The questions that we're asking can be pretty tough sometimes, but we need to be able to get good answers so our wonderful analysts on this side here can make a fantastic report.
We are going to get started.
Today we have with us, as an individual, an author, Patricia Robertson.
From the Association of Manitoba Book Publishers, we have Annalee Greenberg, Editorial Director, Portage and Main Press.
We have, from the University of Manitoba, Naomi Andrew, Director and General Counsel.
Finally, from the Winnipeg School Division No. 1, we have Sherri Rollins, Chair of the Board of Trustees.
I will say that if you are not using your headpiece, keep it away from the microphone because it can go “pop” pretty loudly.
We have translators in the booth over there, some good supporters. It's not Quebec, so I can say “translators.” Everything that we're doing is being recorded and translated. It's all for the record, so take your time. Don't rush through your testimonies. You will each have up to seven minutes because we managed to add an extra couple of minutes. After all the presentations are done, we will go to our questions.
We're going to start with Patricia Robertson. You have up to seven minutes.
