Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have a quick question for Mr. Dickison and Ms. Kohn.
I understand obviously the speed and the obsolescence issue for libraries and archives across Canada. In a previous life I stored some three quarter inch floppy disks with the National Archives of Canada. So I don't know what they're going to do with those from a previous minister's time during the Mulroney years.
How do you balance, as Ms. Kohn called it, the analog—I call it the paper books—need for copyright in order to generate innovation so that people can profit from what they create? Whether it's the written word or music, or whether it's technological invention, all of that is innovation and creativity. Copyright and patent law protects that to allow for profit.
On the one hand, you are the keeper of books that have been generated through the profit motive and copyright protection; on the other hand, for particular types of innovation, you're asking for the ability to access it and go in and then basically, because of the way it works now, to be able to alter that innovation.
