OTTAWA — The CEO of Google and other top executives are being summoned to appear before a parliamentary committee after the company decided to temporarily block some Canadians from accessing news through its search engine.The committee is also requesting documents related to Google's news ban.
"It's troubling that Google was doing this in secret, but was caught by the press," Liberal MP Chris Bittle said to the committee. His motion to summon the Google executives was unanimously supported by opposition MPs. The House of Commons doesn't have the power to summon individuals who live outside of Canada, but members of Parliament who serve on the committee want to take the chance.
It's become common for tech giants to respond to government bills that could affect their platforms by altering their products.
