In my post yesterday, I originally wrote that the vote on the iPod levy motion at the Heritage Committee was simply a vote to compel further debate on the issue at Committee. This was in fact not the case, the vote brought forth the issue of a levy on digital audio recorders to the entire House of Commons, not simply the Heritage Committee. Indeed, Committee Chair Gary Shellenberger has tabled the Committee’s Report and MP Carole Lavallée is seeking a debate on the matter in the House. I regret the error.
