Canadian Alliance of Student Associations pipes up on Copyright Act
On Tuesday, April, 24, the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations (CASA) went before the federal government’s Industry, Science and Technology Committee to voice their point of view on the government’s Copyright Act. CASA supports a section of the act saying that students are able to use materials for educational reasons without it being copyright infringement; they spoke out against restrictions on that section. There are two national student groups in Canada: CASA and the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS). Camosun students are currently members of the CFS, however, the CFS is putting forth a motion to expel BC locals; members of the Camosun College Student Society attended a CASA meeting in March as guests.
