Madam Speaker, I am really not surprised to hear from the NDP that anyone's creation should not have any property rights attached to it.
The creator has, by creating a piece of property, a legal and moral obligation to receive compensation for it. It is not a Wild West situation in which anything in the public domain belongs to everybody. That is just not true, and creators of intellectual property deserve the full protection of the law.
We are now in the 21st century, and there are new opportunities and new technology. They must be protected, and the creators of these must be protected.
