[kwlug disc.] Information on Bill C-61

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

When this bill was announced, I emailed our local MP (Andrew Telegdi). After
more than a month's delay, it was finally answered by an assistant.

It is mostly content-free ...

> On behalf of Mr. Telegdi, I would like to thank you for your email
> concerning the new copyright legislation, Bill C-61.
>
> Although the Copyright Act must be updated to address rapid changes in
> technology, Mr. Telegdi is concerned that the Conservatives failed to
> properly consult with Canadians to ensure that Bill C-61 struck the right
> balance between consumers and creators.
>
> This is an important issue and Mr. Telegdi will be taking the summer to
> review the Bill and look into its potential impact on consumers, creators
> and the business community.
>
> I will be updating you on Mr. Telegdi's position as the legislation
> progresses through the House of Commons.
>
Once again, thank you for your valuable input and comments.
