Why don't Canadian Industry Minister Jim Prentice and Industry Canada want you to see the above paragraph on Wikipedia?

Industry Canada efforts to mitigate copyright controversy have extended to Wikipedia, with references to the new legislation removed several times by users inside Industry Canada.

Is it because they are about to sell out the rights of mere citizens of Canada in order to industry groups like media and record companies?

Michael Geist has this and much morethat you should read before the government takes aways your rights. Keep in mind that Canadians already pay a levy on blank CDs because it is assumed that they are used to copy music. So Canadians are already paying for the right to copy music. But now Mr. Prentice wants to introduce a $500 per download fine.

Mr. Prentice doesn't appear to be the least bit concerned with the people that elected him and pay his salary.
