Many advocacy groups exist in Canada that are involved in areas that concern Free Software creators/users that are not registered charities. I believe we need to get past thinking that this is a concern, and move towards trying to get the people who are interested together to move to the next step. I'm willing to donate some time/resources, but we need a team. The specifics of the federal government is already happening within http://GOSLINGcommunity.org. Government doesn't lead, but follows (and far behind at that). We really should be focusing our diverse energies on other sectors, knowing the government will just follow along in time. Don't look there for innovation.
