from David Phillips in Manchester UK re: artists' rights

Can anyone confirm whether I am right in thinking that Canada's bill
C-60 (amended copyright act 1988) gave artists rights over the
display of works even after sale to a public museum, far more
extensive than the protection of reputation offered by the US VRA,
and to some extent by the UK Copyright Act?  Presumably the Canadian
legislation would apply only to works made after some recent date,
but also presumably to an artist of any nationality with work in a
Canadian museum.

If that's right, how is that affecting gallery practice in Canada?
