Unless I something, the Senator is only talking about the concerns Post-Secondary schools have with the legislation. The problems are larger than that. We need to write to senators so they know this. (I’ll go do that now).
“Senator Tardif: Honourable senators, it appears that the Minister of Industry decided not to introduce the copyright legislation yesterday, Tuesday, December 11, 2007, although a notice had been filed.
