I agree with having a dedicated free software canada even if it can't give people tax breaks. I did discuss this with Richard Stallman via e-mail back in May or June of this year and that's when I found out about the Canadian laws. We need awareness of free software all over Canada. Canada has a strong reliance on Microsoft technology all throughout government. Which is costing tax payers more money than needed, they should take a cue from Netcraft that real servers run GNU\Linux.
