An Act to amend the Criminal Code (hate propaganda), popularly known as Bill C-250, its title during the second session of the 37th Canadian parliament in which it was passed, was a controversial piece of Canadian legislation.

Bill C-250, authored by New Democratic Party Member of Parliament Svend Robinson, had come under fire from Focus on the Family and some other religious groups based on the argument that it prohibits the preaching of various Scripture condemning homosexuality.

From the completion of the strategic review (Department of Canadian Heritage 1996) until the present time, the program has been moving in the direction of a broader conception of diversity and toward encouragement of a free and open dialogue among all Canadians on how to negotiate their complex, multifaceted identities.
Day is absolutely correct that the "Canadian" response and multiple responses have been on the increase on the Census and single ethnic identity appears to be on the wane.

 Prime Minister of Canada
The Prime Minister of Canada, the head of the Canadian government, is the leader of the political party with the most seats in the Canadian House of Commons.

While the limited scope and term of copyright is necessary to protect the rights of future authors and the public interest, an Access Copyright board member named Christopher Moore, who claims to be a representative of creators rather than publishers, attacked the whole concept of fair dealings on his website.
Pass the word: Canadians deserve a Copyright Act based on the principles of copyright, not on shopping lists of special conditions for special groups such as collective societies who are only administrative bodies for a very narrow business model option.
Canadian law must protect a full spectrum of methods of creation, distribution and funding for authors, including options that are competitive to those of collective societies.
