Parliament has introduced Bill C-8, the Combating Counterfeit Products Act,
(formerly Bill C-56). It was necessary to reintroduce it as it died
on the order paper due to the last prorogation of Parliament. The
summary of the bill provides that this will amend the
Copyright and Trade-marks Acts to add new
criminal and civil remedies and new border measures in order to
strengthen the enforcement of copyright and trade-mark rights and
to curtail commercial activity involving infringing copies and
counterfeit trade-marked goods.
