Fair Dealing: This term is used in the Copyright Act to identify when actions that otherwise would be copyright infringement aren't. It is defined in Section 29 of the Act and is limited to use for the purposes of research, private study and news reporting. This is the closest Canadian equivalent to the USA's concept of Fair Use. The Canadian Intellectual Property Office has a definition here. There's a bit more information in their Guide to Copyrights.
Fair Use: Fair Use is identified in Section 107 of Title 17 of the United States Code as a defence against allegations of copyright infringement. Their Copyright Office has a Fact Sheet about it. Canadian Copyright law does not have a concept of fair use. The closest equivalent under Canadian law is Fair Dealing.
