With the back-to-school ads on TV and everywhere else, it’s a sure sign that summer is drawing to a close and, yes, the entire Copibec team is back at work.

Madeline and Benjamin, our two new team members focusing on elementary and high schools, are ready to guide professionals in the education sector as they report their data on the copyrighted content they’ve used.

On Parliament Hill

On the political scene, we’re continuing to voice our views to the staff of ministers Champagne and Rodriguez in an effort to ensure that the much-anticipated review of the Copyright Act gets underway. Consultations or surveys? Various options have been put forward and we should know more soon. Will there be a review by the end of 2022 or 2023? Bets are open.

Quebec Book Day

I only have a few pages left to read in Après Céleste, which I bought as part of the campaign known as “Le 12 août, j’achète un livre québécois”. I’m already looking forward to discovering this fall’s new literary releases.

To get inspired, check out these book recommendations from Copibec team members.

Enjoy your reading and good luck with the new school year!
