Mr. Speaker, my question is for my colleague and it has to do with education and copyright.
Right now, we are witnessing a negative effect of this legislation. In theory, the bill should promote knowledge and culture, but we find ourselves with something that will prevent students, particularly those who live in remote regions, from having access to inter-library loans, which are the electronic transfer of information between libraries.
This means that the whole long distance learning component is jeopardized. This affects all those students who not only take a course but who also use the information provided in that course to learn, to write a thesis or an essay, and so on.
I wonder if the hon. member could tell us about the major problem for a student who lives in a remote region and who wants to write a thesis.
