  • Minister Clement gives me great hope that we'll have a much better copyright bill brought before parliament.

    I was able to talk to him at some length on the issue Friday morning, and he is a much more able, and much more savvy minister than Prentice was when it comes to this technologically (and socio-economocially) sensitive bill.

    My hopes are high, and I look forward to being "one of the people" he talks to about this issue!
  • Just a suggestion - you should invest in a 'shotgun' mike or something similar for your camcorder. It was kind of hard to hear what Tony was saying, and a shotgun mike will pick up the sound in front of the camera more loudly than your own.

    BTW, next time you run into Tony, ask if he's played 'Diplomacy' lately :)
  • Thanks a lot for conducting the interview as I am fairly interested in hearing Minister Clement's take on copyright reform.

    P.S. I agree with Jennifer that a "shotgun" mic will give you much better sound quality.
  • Agreed! Irony is that I have two.

    Let's hope Jim Prentice's draconian copyright legislation literally gets "lost in the shuffle".
