The report focused on “copyright piracy, the legal and enforcement reforms needed to fight it and other market barriers in 39 countries/territories”. The IIAP claims that Canada has not taken adequate steps to modernize its copyright laws to meet the minimum standards of the WIPO Internet Treaties. You can read more about the report here.
