i think your thinking about bill c-61

which was scraped when micheal geist got 60,000 people to send in complaints to their MP.

really old news

once the bad clauses (anti circumvention, explictly codified fair use, take down with no counter liability) were removed and new rights were wrapped in with a fair use notwithstanding clause

CIRA bitched and whinned calling it a toothless law not worth the paper it was written on.

Amazingly they refused to give up the piracy tax money which most consumer groups said they should give up if they wanted more american style copyright protection.
