Maybe we should see a few more theologists; it might be more helpful as we move forward.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3494687\" data-originallang=\"en\">There have been quite some serious health and safety issues raised by many of the panellists we've had a chance to see. That very much concerns me.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3494688\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Keon, you can elaborate more on Mr. Holder's question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3494689\" data-originallang=\"en\"> On the case law that's already been established as a result of years and years of litigation, with the changes being proposed in Bill <a data-HoCid=\"6266835\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-8/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Copyright Act and the Trade-marks Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-8</a>, it seems to be your feeling that unless amendments are done to change further that issue of \u201cdistinctiveness\u201d, it will lead to more litigation, which may be great for Mr. Lipkus and his sons and others, but I'm not sure that it's necessarily good for the taxpayer. Is that correct?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3494686\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le portefeuille de cette industrie compte, je crois, beaucoup d'avocats. Il devrait peut-\u00eatre compter un peu plus de th\u00e9ologiens; cela pourrait se r\u00e9v\u00e9ler utile, ult\u00e9rieurement. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3494687\" data-originallang=\"en\">Bon nombre des experts que nous avons le plaisir de recevoir ont soulev\u00e9 un certain nombre d'enjeux s\u00e9rieux touchant la sant\u00e9 et la s\u00e9curit\u00e9. Cela me pr\u00e9occupe beaucoup. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3494688\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur Keon, vous pouvez terminer de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 la question de M. Holder. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3494689\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui concerne la jurisprudence constitu\u00e9e au fil des ans en raison des poursuites qui s'accumulaient, si on apporte les changements propos\u00e9s dans le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"6266835\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-8/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Copyright Act and the Trade-marks Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-8</a>, vous pensez, semble-t-il, qu'\u00e0 moins de modifier davantage tout ce qui a trait au caract\u00e8re \u00ab distinctif \u00bb, les poursuites vont se multiplier, ce qui pourrait \u00eatre formidable pour M. Lipkus et ses fils et pour d'autres personnes, mais pas n\u00e9cessairement, \u00e0 mon avis, pour les contribuables. Est-ce bien cela?</p>"
