Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Or the RIM PlayBook; we haven't seen it yet. Unfortunately, I have stock in neither. The Apple tablet comes with an opportunity or an ability to make the print as large as you need it, but also a built-in screen reader. For someone who is not using it for print at all but is using it for the audio, they're able to access the material on that tablet.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Proposed section 32 really needs to be understood as an interim measure. The context is that it's interim. What it means is that it allows associations working with persons with perceptual disabilities--the associations typically are non-profit or under-resourced, as there's very little private industry there, unfortunately--to be able to afford, in CNIB's case, to have a library that has 86,000 titles; to be able to do all of the manipulation, etc., required in order to create an alternate format of that material and house it, store it, deliver it, host it on a web; and to be able afford that without having to incur the additional expense of paying royalties.

What happens is that typically a person with a perceptual disability ends up taking longer at university because they're waiting for their books. They often take part-time classes. It's not disability-related all the time, it's often simply resource-related.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair and members of the committee. We'd like to thank you for this opportunity to speak to you today. I have to say that for a moment I was very pleased to think that Rory was perhaps going to become a colleague. As a member of the CNIB, I think we'd be honoured to have you.
