Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Deputy Minister and ISED officials, thank you for the work you do for Canadians and for being here today.

I'd like to start with a follow-up to Mr. Longfield in regard to the Copyright Board. The BIA, the budget implementation act, has a series of reforms that many people said are necessary. Many also have said that the board was not sufficiently funded.

It sounds to me as if you're giving it the same allocation it previously received. Is it going to be able to enact some of the reforms that are in the budget implementation act, on the same budget?

See context to find out what was said next.
