I'm glad to see that finally the "Photographer's Copyright Issue" will (hopefully) be addressed and make some advances to catch up to countries like in the USA, etc.

Our photographic friends in Canada need to be able to own their rights, and until that can happen it won't be really possible for Canadian organizations/businesses/events to afford to hire professional photographers, especially ones from other countries like the USA which offers protections to them. (IE, since the photographers currently get no/few rights to their images taken in Canada, they must charge much more or deny the offer for the whole package because annual/renewal licenses for individual photos/works can't be negotiated right now -- they give that all up under current law and must raise prices to compensate)
