Thank you to the member for that great question.
The government announced consultations on the link between AI and copyright in order to bring needed clarity to the role of copyright in the age of AI and all sorts of new technologies. The aim is to ensure that creators in creative industries are fairly compensated. That's important because the most effective way to address those concerns is through the Copyright Act. That's why the government has launched another consultation on the issue.
Bill C‑27 would enact the artificial intelligence and data act, a law of general application addressing all uses of AI systems that have significant societal or economic impacts. That may include certain aspects of the creative sector, but the law was designed to take into account all the ways in which AI could harm society overall.
For that reason, consultations on the copyright framework are also taking place. You're right that copyright rules determine how creators are compensated.
