Industry committee  The Australian model also has “fair use”.

Industry committee  It's a broader interpretation because it's “such as”. It would be broader than the current fair dealing exceptions in Canada. If we're moving to a broader fair dealing environment, libraries would be very supportive of it.

Industry committee  With the licensing, we'd be very cautious about it, because with public institutions in Canada, we are.... This is public money. I think we have to have due diligence, and we are coming from a history where we paid twice for materials, so part of this is reconciling that we're no

Industry committee  With the fair dealing and the fair use, yes, if it's broader—not regarding the licensing.

Industry committee  On the Copyright Board, one of the things we would look for is regarding the interrogatories, that the interrogatories only applied to the institutions before the board.

Industry committee  Basically, yes. The Canadian Federation of Library Associations did submit a brief in the Copyright Board submissions, so we can refer to that and send it in again. One of the things we would like to make clear is that we are able to purchase content from a number of sources, a

Industry committee  I think that's a great question. We saw in the 2012 amendments the addition of user-generated content. I think that's something that addresses the future. We look at how people can use, rework, use material that is already there, riff off of it, and create something new. That's

Industry committee  I think fair dealing is a public policy issue. I think it is very problematic if you turn it into a bright line.

Industry committee  From the framework of public policy, I don't think it works that way. The Copyright Act has the ability for people to sue for infringement, then it goes before the courts, and then you do the analysis. There's a whole framework there that's already in place.

Industry committee  After listening to the exchanges at the earlier meetings and trying to understand about the large numbers that seem to be missing from somebody's pocketbook, and where they're coming from, and where they're going, and who's missing them, I begin to understand.... Libraries and

Industry committee  In changing legislation we would look for flexible language so that there would be an interpretation and, I think, the technological neutrality, so we don't get stuck in the kinds of things we did with the digital locks. It would apply regardless of the format of the material, so

Industry committee  Also, you can override TPMs. So, yes, there are very good examples around the world for all the things that certainly CFLA has asked for.

Industry committee  Mr. Chair, Mr. Vice-Chair and members of the committee, good afternoon. Thank you for inviting us to speak to you this afternoon. My name is Victoria Owen, and I am the Chief Librarian of the University of Toronto Scarborough. I represent the Canadian Federation of Library Assoc
