Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Kitchener—Waterloo for all his hard work on this file, and he is right.
The former Liberal deputy prime minister and member for Ottawa South, John Manley, appeared at our committee and his message was clear when he said, “I strongly endorse Bill C-32. It brings Canada's copyright rules into the 21st century”. He said, “It gives creators a tool to control how their works are made available. The bill is needed to ensure that Canada does not become a haven for piracy”.
I hope the current member for Ottawa South realizes how much the former member knows about copyright and how much this bill could help creators in Canada.
