Throne Speech Promises Copyright Reform

The Conservative government's throne speech promises copyright reform: "Our Government will improve the protection of cultural and intellectual property rights in Canada, including copyright reform."  This suggests Canadians will see a copyright bill introduced in the near future.  Without more details, it is difficult to see the form this reform will take.  However, the characterization of the legislation as "improving the protection" afforded IP is ominous.  There is little room in that forumula for important reforms to address consumer, library, or educational community needs.
