The House of Commons and Senate return from a lengthy break this week and will likely run until late June with the occasional week or two off.

This week’s Law Bytes podcast provides a preview of the upcoming session, looking at what may lie ahead for issues such as telecom policy, privacy reform, Bills C-11 and C-18, copyright, and trade policy.
