We've allowed these giants, these platforms, to set up permanently in our jurisdictions, and Canada and Quebec aren't the only ones dealing with this. Every country in the west has had to face this new reality. That's why it has taken everyone so long to respond, although Europe has taken a much more aggressive approach, if you will. Here, though, we have been much too slow to make regulations.
Now, it feels as though we are up against giants and reeling them in at all is impossible. That is why I think Parliament needs to pass Bill C‑11 quickly. If lawmakers don't do it now, they'll just be kicking the can down the road yet again.
Small cultural groups around the world—that includes us, as francophones—will become even more marginalized than they are today. Lawmakers should not wait any longer; nor should they be influenced by the digital giants who want to impose their content their way by deciding what is good and what is bad. We can't go down that road.
