Earlier today, Marc Garneau and guest commentators Michael Geist and Steve Anderson had a live online chat about the Liberal Digital Canada Plan. A transcription of the chat is available here.

Liberals have worked to pass effective copyright legislation, including a private copying compensation fund instead of any new tax on consumers.
