Ottawa Finally Fills Position Copyright Board Chair: Justice Robert A. Blair

June 9, 2015 by Jordan Fine

The times they are a hopefully changing for the Copyright Board of Canada. Over a year ago, Justice William Vancise stepped down after serving his maximum two terms as chair. On June 3rd, the Board issued a press release stating that Industry Minister James Moore had finally announced the appointment of Justice Robert A. Blair as Chair, effective immediately. Will Justice Blair's appointment revitalize and accelerate the Board's administrative functionality, marking the beginning of an era of change?

Jordan Fine is the IPilogue Content/Publication Editor and a JD Candidate at Osgoode Hall Law School.
