Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  The creators who use the Internet, for example, for business will not be impacted. There are many aspects that are in the public domain, and unless we have clarity we're not going to be able to move forward in our society and in our education system without fear. In terms of copyright, and the teaching of copyright, I would just like to add at this point that I come from a 30-year background as an educator.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Yes, we can provide that information. We're asking for the words “education with multiple uses” to be added at this time.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  It's “with multiple copies”. Sorry about that.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  No, there would be no change in terms of the budget aspect. But I will ask that Rosalind Penfound speak on budgets. As you know, deputy ministers are the ones who are always in charge of the budget process, so I would appreciate if she would respond to your question.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  I'm here representing education ministers. We've long maintained that we need a modern legal framework in which to operate. But on the issue you speak of, I will be asking legal counsel to respond. Thank you.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Thank you very much. Good morning, everyone. As stated, I am accompanied today by Nova Scotia's deputy minister of education, Rosalind Penfound, who also serves as chair of the CMEC deputy ministers' committee respecting copyright issues, and by Wanda Noel, the legal counsel to our organization.
