The Conservative Leader says the bill breaches section 2(b) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms on freedom of expression, including freedom of media of communication
pledged Thursday to repeal the online streaming bill if he wins the next federal election, calling it a “censorship” law that will curb freedom of expression on the internet.
Mr. Poilievre weighed in on the debate Thursday, arguing the bill breaches section 2 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms on freedom of expression, including freedom of media of communication. The Opposition Leader said the government is giving the broadcasting regulator power over what content appears on the internet, saying it would operate through the Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications Commission.
Once the bill becomes law, the CRTC will have powers to regulate the streaming platforms and ensure they promote “Canadian content” as with traditional broadcasters. NDP MP Peter Julian, a member of the Commons heritage committee which scrutinized the bill, accused Tories of spreading “disinformation” and being on a “wacky tangent that is unbelievable.”
He said the bill, which modernizes the broadcasting act, is about putting streaming platforms “on a level playing field” with traditional broadcasters.
