Ottawa, June 2, 2010-The Canadian Chamber of Commerce today applauded the government for introducing legislation to modernize the Copyright Act and thereby strengthen intellectual property (IP) protection in Canada.
Private members Bill C-310: An Act to Provide Certain Rights to Air Passengers was first introduced by James Maloway (NDP-Manitoba) in 2009. The bill’s enactment would have placed obligations on air carriers to provide compensation and other assistance to passengers in certain cases involving flight cancelations or delays.
The Canadian Chamber of Commerce has been an active voice opposing the adoption of bill C-310 and is pleased that the bill has been defeated.
Bill S-4: An Act to Amend the Criminal Code (identity theft and related misconduct) was introduced in June 2009.
At the 2008 Canadian Chamber Annual General Meeting, chambers from across the country passed a resolution entitled “Preventing and Effectively Punishing Identity Theft” which was put forward by the Surrey Board of Trade. In January 2010, bill S-4 came into force.
We are pleased that the government responded to this policy resolution to deal with the crime of identity theft and that this legislation is now in place.
Ottawa, May 25, 2010 - The Canadian Chamber of Commerce welcomed the introduction today of Bill C-28, Fighting Internet and Wireless Spam Act (FISA). This bill replaces the government’s Electronic Commerce Protection Act that did not pass the last session of Parliament.
