IPIC Recommendations on Possible Amendments to Bill C-86, Subdivisions A, B, C, E & H

While overall IPIC is very supportive of this legislation moving forward, as an organization of professionals who interpret the wording of policy and regulations each and every day on behalf of our clients, we do have some suggested amendments to the specific text of the provisions in Bill C-86, Part 4, Division 7, Subdivisions A,B,C, E and H that will improve the Bill and ensure that specific sections more fully achieve the desired outcomes of the government and stakeholders. IPIC appreciates the issues that have been addressed by the proposed sections in these subdivisions, and our members have emphasized that these proposed sections would have benefited from further consultation, so we provide these recommendations below as our contribution to improve the IP policy in Canada and to support the success of Canadian business.
