This information is a bit dated and many of the links are broken.
Our own links on the digital-copyright.ca site are a bit dated as
they focused on the 2001/2002 consultation process, rather than the
upcoming legislation that may be tabled in 2005. Latest is that it
won't likely be
February, and it is uncertain whether there will be another election
before legislation is tabled.

Those Canada-wide that are involved in Copyright Revision should be
at least aware of http://digital-copyright.ca/ which we hope to keep
updated with the latest information on this and related areas of
policy.
