Letter to Canadian Ministers Regarding Proposed Amendments to Copyright Law on Term of Protection and Education Exceptions

[Jointly signed by 25 Canadian IP scholars] As a group of Canadian Intellectual Property Law scholars, we write to express our deep concern regarding the reference in the 2022 Federal Budget to amendments to the Copyright Act. We strongly urge you to exclude the contemplated amendments to the Copyright Act from any Budget Implementation Bill and ensure that their enactment would follow the ordinary legislative process.
