Senators returned to the upper chamber on Tuesday and quickly began debating a motion that would see the Senate accept Bill C-11, the Online Streaming Act, without insisting on further changes.
The federal Liberal government's representative in the Senate, Sen. Marc Gold, introduced a motion seeking that the Senate agree to the version of Bill C-11 the House of Commons signed off on last month, and not insist on the several amendments that the majority of MPs voted down."The Senate has three possible practical responses to this message: it can concur, it can insist on its amendments, or it can make a new proposal within the scope of the disagreement.
Debate is expected to continue on the motion this week, and after years of discussion, study, and modifications to the initial piece of legislation, it appears there's some desire within the Senate to see this chapter come to an end soon. In late March, just before Parliament took a two-week break, the Liberal, NDP and Bloc Quebecois MPs passed a motion from Bill C-11's sponsor, Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez, accepting the majority of the Senate's changes to the 50-page bill."What you and I, and others posts online, [Bill C-11] doesn't change anything. It's about the platforms.
On Monday, Conservative MP and ardent opponent to Bill C-11 Rachael Thomas tried unsuccessfully to call an emergency debateto social media companies, alleging that if Bill C-11 passes it would "legislate the government's ability to engage in this type of censorship going forward."
