Mr. Speaker, this bill is unbalanced and irresponsible. Yesterday the artists said so themselves.
Among this delegation of artists was Claude Robinson, who fought a 15-year battle to have the courts recognize his copyright. He is a real symbol for copyright in Quebec. His presence reminded us that Bill C-32 transforms all creators into thousands of Claude Robinsons who will be left on their own to fight for their intellectual property rights and for fair compensation.
Is it not time to make significant changes to Bill C-32 to establish a fair balance between distributors and creators?
