The House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry, Science and\xa0Technology has spent the past year reviewing the state of Canadian copyright law. The review, which is scheduled to result in a report with recommendations for potential reforms, featured hundreds of witnesses representing a wide range of views. To introduce some of the issues and provide some insight into how the review process functions, this week\u2019s LawBytes podcast relies on the audio recording of my committee appearance in December 2018.\xa0\xa0It opens with my seven minute opening statement and continues with several exchanges with MPs on issues such as fair use, the USMCA, crown copyright, and anti-circumvention rules, which are often referred to as digital locks.\nThe podcast can be downloaded here and is embedded below.
