I think the Quebec model illustrates a kind of balance. I would not say, of course, that royalties of $13.50 are fair, but at least we are able to sit down around the table. The only reason for this is that the Quebec ministry of culture and communications and the ministry of education and higher education are committed to maintaining a strong publishing industry, which tells stories about Quebec, rather than seeking out what is happening in France, Belgium or elsewhere. If the concept of fair dealing for education is not based on that, if nothing strengthens it to guide the universities and the ministries of education as to interpretation, we would end up with a situation similar to that of Access Copyright. That is ultimately what will happen if nothing is done in Quebec.
