The Government of Canada has begun a nationwide series of consultations on copyright modernization. As part of the process they have created a web site through which Canadians can submit their own papers on the subject as well as filling out questionaires:

It seems clear that the efforts made by Canadians last year were noticed by politicians!

Here's the introductory paragraph from Dr. Michael Geist's article on the new site:

"The Canadian copyright consultation has launched with a site that offers Canadians several ways to ensure that their voices are heard. As expected, there is a direct submission process, an online discussion forum, and a calendar that includes information on roundtables (by invitation only) and public town halls (the public can register for the town halls to be held in Montreal and Toronto). The site features an RSS feed, there will be audio/video transcripts of the roundtables, and there is even an official twitter feed."
