Bill C-32 has passed 2nd Reading and has now been referred to a special Legislative Committee for review, meaning the Canadian DMCA is one step closer to becoming law. However, the Committee charged with studying the Bill is asking for your input, the parameters and details of which can be viewed here. This is a unique opportunity for Canadians to interact directly with the lawmakers responsible for working out the specific language of the Bill before it is law and comes into force. The MP’s that form this committee believe it is important to hear from Canadians on the topic of copyright and Bill C-32:
The CCER has updated its online letter writing tool to make it quick and easy for Canadians to get their message to the Committee. The Committee and your MP need to know where you stand on this issue regardless of your views and even if you have already told them before. It is essential for Canadians to take advantage of this unique opportunity to speak out with their concerns and specific recommendations for the Committee while they are still working on the specifics of the Bill. Send your letter NOW as the Committee is only accepting submissions until the end of January, 2011.
