I know you understand how valuable our time is.
I asked you a question about reform of the Copyright Act the last time you appeared before the committee. You said that you were working on it, that you were consulting the stakeholders and so forth.
I want to believe you, but when we talk to the groups who are trying to meet with you and make you understand the issue, they tell us they don't get the feeling that progress is being made.
I appreciate that your making a heartfelt plea, but you are the minister. As minister, you can also bring forward bills. Anyone can make a heartfelt plea. Forty million Canadians can do the same. When it comes to introducing legislation, though, you're the person who can do that. You set the agenda. If we're here again in 10 years, will we get the same answer?
