In their own words

  • Artificial Intelligence. Regulation of artificial intelligence developers and operators in Canada, specifically concerning the interaction of these companies with Canada's Copyright Act and the established rights under that Act for Canada's creative professionals
  • Canada's international trade negotiations. We seek to make sure the longstanding exemption of cultural programs and protections from trade negotiations is maintained.
  • Copyright Act. Advocating for legislation and regulation aimed at better defining fair dealing for education, and remuneration for copying in schools.

Meetings from the Commissioner of Lobbying of Canada. Canada does not require lobbyists to disclose what they spend, so there is no lobbying budget to report here — only the meetings they filed.
