Let's stop there for a moment. I think you realize that sometimes committees serve to deliver a message. I think it's important to discuss the issue with the Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities. I'm confident that the intentions here are good. In my neck of the woods, there's quite a bit of talk about Lion, and a lot of people are worried about this. That was my way of appealing to you, to get you thinking.
I have a bit of time left.
I imagine your binder there includes a page on copyright reform, since it's in your mandate letter. For years, Quebec's publishing community has been calling for the Copyright Act to be reformed, as promised. Despite being in your mandate letter, those reforms have yet to happen.
Educational institutions are not properly compensating authors. Artificial intelligence, or AI, is a whole other issue. I don't want you to list off everything you've done in the area, because I know it will burn up my time and you're good at that. Bill C-27 raises concerns about copyright. In particular, works that are used by AI systems have to be protected.
When will the committee see a bill containing copyright reforms? If we knew the legislation was forthcoming, perhaps it would motivate us to speed up our study of Bill C-27.
