        week I am participating in a recorded video chat about Canada's
        new digital charter with 2 other Canadian NARALO members. I am
        hoping some of you here have taken a look at the charter and
        would be able to offer me some user perspectives that I can
        bring forward. Any feedback would be welcome.<br>
