It seems Mr. Prentice failed to judge the outcry of his proposed bill. In an effort to placate the masses (and possibly save his job), he recently provided a radio interview to a CBC podcast reporter regarding the proposed Bill C-61.
I encourage you to listen to the interview and judge for yourself if he actually took part in developing this bill, or if he just passed on what the recording industries wanted to have in place.
(In the event the above link does not work, I have also placed the interview here, and here.)
Notice how he has no answers to many of the questions. In the end, he runs away and can not be reached for a follow up interview.
The people of Canada are making their voice heard. The world is looking at what will happen next. I can only hope the government doesn't disappoint them with capitulation to the American recording companies.
