With respect to the new subsection (3), I am curious as to why specifically not more than 5% of any work can be copied under this section in any calendar year. Is that a standard percentage? Can the Minister of State explain why it states that not more than 5% of a work can be copied?
I understand from the table in the amendment No. 7 that under the heading of the column titled "Words to be substituted", generally, the word is "instruction" and under the column titled "Substituting words" the words are "education", "research", etc. Can the Minister of State clarify why these substitutions are considered necessary? Is it just an updating of language or is it because of the definition of these particular words? Can he provide clarity on both of those points.
