The LawBytes Podcast, Episode 36: The Year in Canadian Digital Law and Policy

Published: Oct. 28, 2021, 6 p.m.

b'The past year has been an incredibly active one for Canadian digital law and policy with important Supreme Court cases, legislative proposals, committee reports, expert panels, and political promises to reform existing laws and regulation. For this final Lawbytes podcast of 2019, I go solo without a guest to talk about the most significant trends and developments in Canadian digital policy from the past year and think a bit about what may lie ahead next year. I focus on five issues: the \\u201ceuro-fication\\u201d of Canadian digital policy, the debate over the competitiveness of the Canadian wireless market, the many calls for privacy law reform, the future of Canadian copyright reform, and the review of Canadian broadcast and telecom law.\\nThe podcast can be downloaded here and is embedded below.
