        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2948614\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, that is very contradictory. First, we want to get rid of piracy. As it is now, people exchanging illicit files online is not covered by the law or within the scope of it. Creators need to be protected, which is why we want to make online piracy illegal. If people are committing piracy, they will face the consequences.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2948615\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have to be compliant with WIPO. We are far behind our partners. This is a balanced Canadian approach. When my colleague referred to the approach of the United States, we decided to concentrate on Internet service providers instead of having a notice to take down. Nobody wanted it in Canada, so we decided to go with a balanced and typical Canadian approach, which is notice to notice. This bill strikes a balance. There are also special provisions in terms of fair dealing and education. On the other hand, my colleague pleaded with her party in the past for an iPod tax and consumers do not want it. It was rejected by consumers.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2948614\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, c'est tr\u00e8s contradictoire. Premi\u00e8rement, nous voulons nous d\u00e9barrasser de la piraterie. En ce moment, la loi ne vise pas ceux qui s'\u00e9changent ill\u00e9galement des fichiers en ligne. Il faut prot\u00e9ger les cr\u00e9ateurs, et c'est pourquoi nous tenons \u00e0 rendre ill\u00e9gale la cyberpiraterie. Ceux qui posent un tel geste devront en subir les cons\u00e9quences. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2948615\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous devons nous conformer au trait\u00e9 de l'OMPI. Nous sommes tr\u00e8s en retard sur nos partenaires. Il s'agit ici d'une approche canadienne \u00e9quilibr\u00e9e. Ma coll\u00e8gue a fait mention de l'approche utilis\u00e9e aux \u00c9tats-Unis. Nous avons d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de nous concentrer sur les fournisseurs de services Internet plut\u00f4t que sur les avis de retrait. Comme cela n'int\u00e9ressait personne au Canada, nous avons d\u00e9cid\u00e9 d'adopter une approche \u00e9quilibr\u00e9e typiquement canadienne, le r\u00e9gime d'avis. Ce projet de loi \u00e9tablit un \u00e9quilibre. Il comporte \u00e9galement des dispositions sp\u00e9ciales en mati\u00e8re d'utilisation \u00e9quitable et d'\u00e9ducation. D'autre part, ma coll\u00e8gue et son parti ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 pr\u00f4n\u00e9 l'instauration d'une taxe sur les iPod, mais les consommateurs n'en ont pas voulu.</p>"
