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.
