Federal Parties Surveyed on Controversial Net Issues

In the run-up to the January 23, 2006 Canadian elections, the University of Ottawa-based CIPPIC (Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic) has has sent a questionnaire to each federal party on a number of policy issues involving the Internet.

The questions cover technical protection measures like DRM, copyright, spyware, spam, privacy protection, police access to Internet account information ("lawful access"), identity theft, and telecom reform.

CIPPIC will post party responses as they are delivered.
