Canada's DMCA Minister weasels and fumbles when asked about his copyright plans

Translate Into:

Canadian Industry Minister Jim Prentice keeps on hammering away at his plan to bring US-style copyright legislation based on the disastrous Digital Millennium Copyright Act to Canada, without any consultation with the public or industry. Thankfully, we have Members of Parliament like the NDP's Charlie Angus, who stood up in Question Period and put it to Prentice: when are you going to give us public consultations on your plants to rewrite Canada's copyright laws?

Prentice's response? A stupid, unfunny joke. Link (Thanks, Charlie!)
