I think what you're all asking us to do is to look at the initial positions between copyright and contract in the sense that you're asking us to say whether the writer should be paid up front in a contract or get additional copyright royalties later.
The same applies for joint ownership, which Mr. Plante and Ms. Hénault just talked about. For our part, we have to determine whether the author should be paid just once, in advance, under a contract, or later on, through copyright royalties.
Mr. Payette, I am surprised that you do not have an opinion on what Mr. Adams recommended yesterday. Subsection 14.1 of the Copyright Act currently provides a reversionary right for authors for 25 years after their death. What Mr. Adams called for yesterday is that this be the case for 25 years after the creation of work.
It is very important for you to state your position on this, don't you think?
