Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Absolutely. We're moving in that direction. It's mind-boggling to see how far we've come in such a short amount of time with regard to technology and what the classroom looks like. We have five-year-olds who come to school now who know more about computers than I did when I first

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Yes, I'm saying with a firm commitment that there will be no loss of revenue for people who are in the creative economy. I feel that the claims you have brought forward are groundless. We've looked at this carefully. We're not asking for anything for free. We're asking for clarit

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  We are not looking in any way to make savings. We are asking for clarity. At this point, teachers and students and professors are having difficulty knowing what they can and cannot do. Society has changed, technology has changed, and the Copyright Act hasn't kept up with the ne

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Oh, I'm telling you, it is absolutely wonderful. There are many wonderful things happening at Pier 21, and the excitement around that being named a national museum is much appreciated. Ruth Goldbloom, bless her heart, is dancing.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  No, there has been no discussion about that at all. This has everything to do with seeking balance and making sure that it is clear at this time. It's very difficult in the education system to operate without knowing. I know that we don't have much time left, but just on that po

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  I will have Wanda answer that question.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Yes, that is correct. I'll have Rosalind expand upon that.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  I feel there's a misconception about a loss of revenue for authors and for the creative community. What we, the ministers of education from CMEC, are seeking is to have the amendments in here so that there's clarification. This will not affect any of the revenues that any of our

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Our relationship is...and will stay the same with these amendments. I will have that further clarified, though, by our legal counsel, if you would need any further comments on that.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Thank you for your question. I will have Wanda answer that for you.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  That was the misconception. We're not asking for anything for free. The education system, the sector, pays for licences and copyright, and will continue to do so. What we're asking for with these amendments is to have things clarified. There's a silence--

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Around the issue of the digital lock, I feel the fair dealing with the Supreme Court law covers that. In terms of your other comments, I am going to look to legal counsel to talk about the digital lock law aspect of that. Thank you.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  I'm going to refer that to legal counsel.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Yes, thank you for those questions. I'm going to defer to Wanda.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Thank you. I will begin to answer the question, and then I will be looking to Wanda for that last part. The point to note about the minister from Quebec is that we have an open-door policy with this consortium, and all of the information that we have is provided to the Minister
