Nadine Sutherland sat expectantly in the gallery as legislators examined a bill brought by Industry Minister Anthony Hylton to amend the Copyrights Act. The bill, when signed into law, will see copyright protection being extended from 50 years to 95 years. Members of the House of Representatives recently concluded the debate on the bill which has been in gestation for more than a decade.
When Clerk to the Houses of Parliament Heather Cooke announced that the bill has been passed with two amendments, Sutherland, grinning from ear to ear, gave the two thumbs up to Hylton. He flashed back a smile as if to say, mission accomplished.
