As I mentioned, I think the government did the right thing when it reformed copyright last year with respect to how it treated our Internet service providers and telecommunications companies, adopting an approach known as “notice and notice”, which in fact other TPP members such as Chile have adopted as their own. I think it was a very positive approach. The concern within the TPP is that, again, based on leaked text coming out of the United States, the U.S. would like to see that approach changed and mandate instead what's known as “notice and takedown”, the experience of which, in countries that have used that approach, raises serious free-speech issues. Under that approach, content may be removed without any sort of actual review, without any court taking a look at it, without any sort of analysis as to whether it's appropriate or fair under the circumstances. The Canadian approach, I think, does a really nice job of balancing things. Again, that's put at risk based on the text we've seen to date through leaks within the TPP.
