Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  I think the guidance the Supreme Court gave us in the CCH case, for example, with the six tests that were part of a fair dealing analysis for us. We look at the provision for research and private study. One would ask those six questions when doing a fair dealing analysis. What is

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  I think it is the parliamentary prerogative to set the parameters for whatever exception it is, so it complies with not interfering with the economic rights of the creator.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  I agree. I think the five-day timeline is an unnecessary encumbrance. I think that if people make copies, and they're infringing us, that's the remedy: they're infringing.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  It's in public libraries across the country where people spend a lot of time in pursuit of lifelong learning. The library community I think understands those uses and that a limited number of copies may be made to support that search for people so that they can continue their edu

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  At the present time we don't. I think those kinds of software may be available at present. We take the delivery from the interlibrary loan or the document delivery, and we make a print copy and distribute that to the requester.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  I agree. I think it misunderstands the research process and the ability to have access to the material long after the delivery of the material. Also, when you look at the tools scholars use to cite their research, they use the citation for electronic references for all manner of

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Thank you for the question. I read “taking measures”, with regard to interlibrary loans, as there being a technological measure that would deliver it. I think in some university libraries, the libraries that I know of, for example, we receive the copy of the interlibrary loan el

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Thank you very much, Madam Lavallée. From the perspective of the Canadian Library Association, I think education, parody, and satire join the other exceptions to copyright because they're very limited, specific, and fair. To be defined as exceptions, they cannot interfere with t

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  The access I was referring to was the access to making limited specified copies of a material under constrained conditions. That's the access I was talking about, not that they weren't available.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  For libraries in Canada, I don't think there has been any problem. We have significant collections. We've spent an enormous amount of money, and we have spent a lot of time protecting the rights of creators. It is a small sliver of exceptions, and we try to manage them responsibl

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  No, the American doctrine is fair use, and ours is fair dealing. The American is “such as”, and our law does not have “such as”. It's very limited to the specified exceptions, and it's a very narrow range of applications that we can use it for. It's very prescribed. If you go thr

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  CLA applauds the Government of Canada for the significant improvements to Canada's copyright regime in Bill C-32. The addition of education, parody, and satire in the fair dealing section of the act are important additions to our national information policy. Education, parody, an

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Good afternoon, and thank you, Mr. Chair. My name is Victoria Owen, and I'm the chair of the Canadian Library Association's Copyright Committee. With me here today is Kelly Moore, who is CLA's executive director. We greatly appreciate this opportunity to meet with you today in
