Industry committee  There are things that can be done immediately by communicating from the government's perspective whether they believe this approach is right or not. Just signalling to the education sector is a start. The government has also committed to making some changes to the Copyright Boa

Industry committee  Yes, we have.

Industry committee  Absolutely.

Industry committee  Yes.

Industry committee  I think one thing that's important to note and got very confused in the earlier panel is which courts or tribunals have looked at the copying guidelines. The Copyright Board did not look at the copying guidelines. It has not said anything about the fairness of the copying guideli

Industry committee  Educational institutions across the country have what is called “learning management systems”. They're essentially digital platforms that allow professors and students to upload content and share it with a class. They've gone from taking the material that was published and produc

Industry committee  Again, I don't know the source of that data, so I can't really comment about that data per se, but—

Industry committee  —generally speaking, I think your comments are accurate.

Industry committee  Absolutely not. That is not correct. I think what you need to do is look at the York University case. It was the time—the opportunity—we had to actually see the content that gets used in course packs and on learning management systems at York University. In the context of that

Industry committee  If I may, I've been at Access Copyright for 17 years. I've been there, in a way, through this whole process, and what I'm going to express is my personal view of what has happened through the years. The Copyright Modernization Act took 15 years. For 15 years the parties came be
