This is from the published bill. The Library of Parliament often publishes better independent summaries.
This enactment amends the Auditor General Act to provide for the appointment of an Advertising Commissioner to assist the Auditor General in performing duties related to the use of public funds for any advertisement that a department proposes to post, publish, display or broadcast, to ensure that the advertisement meets the requirements of that Act. It establishes a process by which proposed messages are reviewed by the Advertising Commissioner to determine whether they meet the requirements of that Act and provides for reporting on the discharge of the duties under that Act.
