What is the relationship between the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) negotiations and copyright reform in Canada?
This copyright reform bill is about modernizing Canada’s copyright regime to respond to challenges presented by the Internet and new digital technologies. The ACTA aims to enhance international cooperation, develop enforcement practices, and improve legal frameworks for protecting intellectual property rights to address the growing global illicit trade in counterfeit and pirated goods on a commercial scale. Canada’s position in the ACTA negotiations will be guided by our domestic interests.
