Wow, just finished listening to an interview with Industry Minister Jim Prentice on the CBC Search Engine
podcast. Apparently Minister Prentice did stick around for his promised 10 whole minutes, but no longer, as he hung up on the host of the show rather than take any additional questions. During the interview Minister Prentice contradicted an awful lot of what's in the Bill, seeming to demonstrate either a lack of knowledge of what's in it, or a lack of respect for the intelligence of the listeners of the show. Or both. :-/ Give it a listen - the interview appears right at the beginning of the show. Then go read the Q&A with Intellectual Property expert Jeremy deBeer in last week's Globe & Mail. I need an antacid now.
