  Jeff Leiper of Decima (Canadian New Media) let me know about a speech in
the Senate, and I found it here:

http://www.parl.gc.ca/common/..%5C37%5C3%5Cparlbus%5Cchambus%5Csenate/deb-E/009db_2004-02-16-e.htm?Language=E&Parl=37&Ses=3#35

"Honourable senators, I urge you to join me in giving this bill speedy 
passage. Already this bill has been subjected to numerous delays both here 
and in the other place. The only section of the former Bill C-36 that 
provoked debate is now obsolete. With the start of the New Year, the 
affected works are now in the public domain. Therefore, the amendments 
proposed to section 21 of the Copyright Act are no longer applicable and 
will now be dropped."
