Daniel Haran and I were on the Hill last Thursday to listen to Liberal Round table on the Digital Economy.
Daniel and I asked questions re-open data from very different angles. You can read a live blog account of the event here -

Michael Geist discusses it here;
http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/4787/125/M. Geist gave great responses. He indicated that government can act on low hanging fruit, such as a policy to release and to release Canadian public data. That was in response to Daniel's questions, and forewarned about the lockdown of science in proprietary dbases and echoed the comment that the copyright debate is about culture industries and science is not at the table as response to my questions.
Cheers
