Industry committee  We don't dispute that the university sectors may in fact be paying more and more for content.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  That's roughly our estimate as well; that's approximately what the exceptions may cost creators and publishers. A portion of those losses is definitely hard to quantify because the result will be a decline in book sales that is still hard to calculate. However, the royalties curr

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Let me give you an answer by example.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  Absolutely.

Bill C-32 (40th Parliament, 3rd Session) committee  You're asking me a lot of things. I'm going to start by saying that defining the education sector would be helpful. However, that's definitely not the solution. Even defined in a more limited way than it is today, the education sector as such is still an important sector for crea
