Charlie Angus during Question Period on the DMCA
A link to the above video came directly from Charlie with the following text:
Angus challenges Conservative thinking over digital innovation issues in the wake of comments by Conservative Senate Leader Marjorie LaBreton who said she doesn't understand technologies like facebook and she thinks they are dangerous.
He then challenges Jim Prentice over the U.S. arm-twisting to enact a DMCA-style copyright Act. The Conservatives have pledged that all treaties will be debated in the House of Commons before being ratified. Angus challenges Prentice on refusing to bring WIPO into the House prior to any new copyright legislation.
