An interesting article in the Star: Ministers finally embrace Canada’s digital future

In an age where powerful lobby groups are advocating a copyright regime that looks much more like tyranny than sound public policy, here is evidence that other voices are being heard.   Realistically, Mr. Clement’s comment is VERY tepid.  He merely admits that we are in a “somewhat different” public policy environment and that he will undertake broad consultation.  This could be lip service.  If I was a gambler I’d bet money on it.   However, lip service is a paradigm shift of unparalleled proportions.  WOW!
