Late tonight comes reports that Maxime Bernier, now former minister of international affairs and the minister who previously took charge in the copyright reform bill has now resigned. The political fallout may put copyright reform on hold while the governing party swings into further damage control.
Jim Prentice is currently the minister in charge of copyright reform in Canada, but there was a time when Maxime Bernier was minister of industry. He, for some time, took on the roll of the minister who would table copyright reform. There was promise of copyright reform, but a cabinet shuffle and he was moved out of the position, being replaced by Jim Prentice who now is taking on the profile.
