John.
The likely new advocate in the Liberal party for extending copyright
protection is Diane Marleau, member for Sudbury, who is an advocate for
the drug industry. The Conservatives will likely be sympathetic to the
issue.
But there is unlikely to be any movement on the copyright issue.
Parliament is divided between four parties. Although the Conservatives
have the most seats and will form the government they do not have a
majority. They will have to tread very carefully to stay in power. No
controversial issues will be introduced. But all Canadians who are
interested in the issue should pay attention. Most members of parliament
are unlikely to know much about the topic and something may sneak through.
