Yep, the Canadian DMCA is still in play

Although the term "copyright reform" wasn't included in today's Speech from the Throne, it is still considered to be part of the legislative agenda.

From the G&M (I would have linked to the Speech on parl.gc.ca but it's not up yet - argh!):

While Monday's Throne Speech does not repeat the non-economic pledges of the Nov. 19 speech, it does say the government will also “attend to the other important priorities that it set out” in its earlier Throne Speech.
 

So anything mentioned in the previous Speech is fair game...including the Canadian DMCA.

Confirmation: The Canadian DMCA is Back

Howard Knopf noticed a piece in the Hill Times today, in which Conservative lobbyist Jeff Norquay claims that:

“the copyright lobby will be in full force when the House returns and he expects a draft legislation to be tabled within months. The government introduced copyright legislation in the last Parliament, but it died on the Order Paper when the election was called.“

So the Canadian DMCA will be tabled before Parliament once more. Hopefully the new crop of MPs are savvy enough to drop it…yet again.
