Canada at the ACTA Negotiations: Canadian Proposals in the Current Draft

[p2p rules]

The leaked version of the latest ACTA draft helpfully includes country positions, information that was scrubbed from the official release last April.  As I noted yesterday, much of the debate boils down to U.S. and European proposals with the remaining ACTA countries picking sides.  Jonathan O'Hara, one of my research students this summer, has helped compile a list of the Canadian positions where negotiators have failed to reach consensus.  It is notable that most Canadian positions seek to limit the scope of ACTA or incorporate some balancing provisions.
