Quebec National Assembly Passes Motion Criticizing C-32

By Michael Geist

The Quebec National Assembly yesterday unanimously passed a motion criticizing Bill C-32 and calling for the application of the private copying levy.  The motion reads:

THAT the National Assembly recognize the crucial role of content creators and the importance of intellectual property in the economic model of Québec arts and culture;

THAT it concur in the concerns of the artistic milieu, particularly of music and literary publishing, and ask the Federal Government to modify as often as necessary current Bill C-32 on copyright, to ensure Québec creators the full recognition of their rights, adequate protection against illegal copying of their work, the application of the private copying principle, and income in accordance with the value of their intellectual property.
