I definitely appreciate that.
In looking at the trade, again the big thing is that we're playing catch-up here because our laws are behind and outdated. When we have a 10-year review for copyright and then it takes a few years to implement and make those changes, it puts us at risk of being a little bit further behind. I think that's why the committee is seeing Bill C-244, why we're seeing my bill.... I know you drafted one on similar issues around copyright as well. We need to have a bit more agile legislation now as technology grows and advances, and we have to do so in line with our trade agreements.
When we look at CASIS, it's good to get that sharing of information, but when it's voluntary, it makes it tough. That's why we have to do something like this. That way, the manufacturer is trying to build those pieces and have the certainty they need to go forward and get the information they need to just make their product work, and nothing more than that.
I think what this bill does is that it provides certainty for the main OEMs. Again, they can develop proprietary software that's going to work, yet they can't block out the short-line manufacturers from being able to access the information they need to make other products that will work on their platform.
When it comes to the trade side of things, I think this bill is in a good position.... Again, as I alluded to earlier, I am willing to make amendments if there are things that need to be done to make it more compliant when it comes to trade deals and agreements.
This bill came out of a need for change, which we saw in the CUSMA negotiations anyway. Again, we're playing catch-up here to what the U.S. is doing. There shouldn't be an issue, but that's....
