{{Main|Fair dealing in Canadian copyright law}}

The ''[[Copyright Act of Canada]]'' establishes fair dealing in Canada, which allows specific exceptions to copyright protection. In 1985, the Sub-Committee on the Revision of Copyright rejected replacing fair dealing with an open-ended system, and in 1986 the Canadian government agreed that "the present fair dealing provisions should not be replaced by the substantially wider 'fair use' concept".<ref name=MagazinesCanada>{{cite web|author1=Magazines Canada|title=Why Canada Should Not Adopt Fair Use: A Joint Submission to the Copyright Consultations|url=https://www.magazinescanada.ca/uploads/File/files/JOINT_SUBMISSION_FAIR_USE_final.pdf|access-date=November 16, 2015|date=September 15, 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160403000037/https://www.magazinescanada.ca/uploads/File/files/JOINT_SUBMISSION_FAIR_USE_final.pdf|archive-date=April 3, 2016}}</ref> Since then, the Canadian fair dealing exception has broadened.
