OTTAWA–Canada has capitulated on copyright policy in the new trilateral North American trade deal, experts say, with a new “digital trade” chapter that could have wide-ranging implications on everything from Canadian content online to personal privacy.

The new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), announced late Sunday night, commits Canada to extending the term of copyright by two decades, from 50 years after the author’s death to 70 years. While that sounds like a relatively minor change, University of Ottawa professor Michael Geist said the costs associated with it could be significant.
