Let Ottawa know they must act now to save the livelihoods of Canadian creators.

Send a message to Minister Champagne to urge him to keep his government's promise to fix the Copyright Act.

Minister Champagne:

For ten years and counting, Canadian creators and publishers have been waiting to get paid for the use of their work. This has had a staggering impact on their livelihoods.

Changes to the Copyright Act in 2012 have led to the widespread copying of creators' work, without compensation, by Canadian educational institutions outside of Quebec. It has resulted in job losses, and several major publishers have left entire segments of Canada's educational sector altogether. 

In Budget 2022, your government promised to fix Canada's Copyright Act and “ensure a sustainable educational publishing industry, including fair remuneration for creators and copyright holders”. It is now almost 2023, and there's been little action to get this done.

Minister Champagne, many Canadian creators and publishers are hanging on by a thread. They are counting on you and Minister Rodriguez to keep your government's promise. They can't wait another year for you to do the right thing.

Fix the Copyright Act now. Save the livelihoods of Canadian creators and publishers. And put a stop to great Canadian content disappearing.

Sincerely,

I'm a:

Your Voice Is Needed Together, We Can Fix The Copyright Act.
