moved for leave to introduce Bill C-280, an act to amend the Copyright Act.
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to introduce this bill. Currently in our education system when a teacher wants to use a document to teach his or her students and they need to photocopy it they are in violation of the Copyright Act.
This would not infringe upon an author's ability to have his material in the classroom. In fact, I believe it would enhance it. It would indeed support our education system at a time when it needs all the help it can get with its limited resources.
