These sessions are a critical opportunity for you to speak directly in front of committee members conducting the critical Copyright Act review to share your personal story of how you have been impacted by 2012 amendments to the Act. If you are planning to attend one of the sessions, here are speaking notes that we have prepared. Aren’t in a city where the Committee will be traveling? There are still many ways to get involved. - Visit IValueCanadianStories.ca to send a letter to the members of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology and the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage who are collectively responsible for the current Copyright Act review.
