My own thoughts:
Wow. My mother still has tapes of my childhood show. Stuff paid by the government of Quebec and show on Radio-Canada and Radio-Quebec (I feel old). I guess all those tape will have to be trashed.

First Topic of Bill C-61, Copying Image, text and movies.

According to this new Bill,

you are allowed:

To copy photographs, book, journals, periodicals and videocassettes you own on a different medium or device for private uses (Clause 17, section 29.21, subsection 1)

you are not allowed:

more than one copy per device (Clause 17, section 29.21, subsection 1, paragraph d)
to make backups, because those backup would create extra copies (same reference as above)
to print more than one copy of a digital work (same reference as above )
to give the copy to anyone (Clause 17, section 29.21, subsection 1, paragraph e)

And, because of Digital lock provisions (Clause 17, section 29.21, subsection 1, paragraph c), you are not allowed:

to copy part of the content of DVDs or Blu-ray Disk(They are encrypted)
to copy a DVD to an iPod or other digital video player (you would have to break the encryption)

you must:

Destroy any copy when you sell or give the original. (Clause 17, section 29.21, subsection 3)

My own toughts:
DVD or blu-ray aren't even mention in all of section 29.21, yet videocassettes (yes, VHS! Betamax!) are clearly mentioned. What is this? 1990?
