Of the three reports, this was the one that actually used web technologies to release its report, as contrasted with simple pdfs from its classmates. A summary of the 18 recommendations can be found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.planpouruncanadanumerique.com\/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=3&amp;Itemid=12&amp;lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Parliament&#8217;s INDU committee (the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology) spent a few months examining foreign ownership issues. It called nealy 40 witnesses, collected briefs from a dozen or so groups and its report\u00a0[<a href=\"http:\/\/www2.parl.gc.ca\/Content\/HOC\/Committee\/403\/INDU\/Reports\/RP4618793\/403_INDU_Rpt05_PDF\/403_INDU_Rpt05-e.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">pdf<\/a>, 745KB] came out with just 2 recommendations: clarify the &#8220;control in fact&#8221; test of the Telecom Act (Section 16); and, liberalize ownership restrictions for satellites &#8211; a move that the government took 3 months earlier. Some early reports have been critical of this output from the committee.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll point out that I found greater value\u00a0in the appended statements from the 4 parties, perhaps providing advance insight into which way the minds are leaning. Given the current\u00a0public <a href=\"https:\/\/mhgoldberg.com\/blog\/?p=3687\" target=\"_blank\">consultation<\/a>\u00a0process (which should yield legislation being introduced in the fall), it is helpful to have an indication of where the political support and opposition for various alternatives will be found.<\/p>\n<p>The final report was from Parliament&#8217;s Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage. It issued what it called an &#8216;interim report&#8217; on &#8220;Emerging and Digital Media: Opportunities and Challenges&#8221; [<a href=\"http:\/\/www2.parl.gc.ca\/Content\/HOC\/Committee\/403\/CHPC\/Reports\/RP4592140\/403_CHPC_Rpt03_PDF\/403_CHPC_Rpt03-e.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">pdf<\/a>, 206KB]. The report covers a broad range of issues, including foreign ownership, copyright, Canadian content, net neutrality and more.
