I was there in 1999. Unlike the Copyright Act that's being discussed today, at that time they did ask for a lot of contributions from Canadians and the industries that were involved.
The problem is that it is very weak. I believe the analysis that surrounded the regulations said this was good for Canadian publishers and therefore good for Canada as a whole. At the time we saw it as a rather weak rationalization for the imposition of a private tariff by public policy.
To answer your question, that's as extensive as it gets. If you were to examine the regulations, you would probably appreciate more than others how weak it is on that policy aspect.
