[d at DCC] Art Hanger (Conservative, Calgary Northeast) tables signatures for Petition for Users' Rights

[Russell McOrmond]

   I was watching Question Period on CPAC, and petition signatures came 
next.  At about 15:19 EST Mr. Art Hanger tabled signatures to our petition 
that were collected in Calgary by Brett Wuth at a talk by Richard Stallman 
in Calgary on May 18th, 2005 : The Danger of Software Patents.

   I will add references to the Hansard tomorrow once they are available 
online.  It will also add another reference to "Copyright" in the search 
of Hansard for this session.

   As you'll notice, most references in Hansard thus far are in reference 
to our petition.

   I recently wrote an article on The importance of Petitions to Parliament

   Please help us ensure that we can continue to have an increasing number 
of MPs tabling signatures for us, so that parliament can't ignore us as 
they move forward on revising copyright.

Thank you.
