Thank you, Chair.
I do think there's something to be done here. I think Canadians want to make sure that the content they're getting is not biased either by the far left or the far right. There is a bit of a lack of trust.
Personally, here on the Hill, sometimes I see what happens, and then I see what's reported in various places and it's sometimes skewed. I think it's a problem that there is no definition of journalistic independence. There's no measurement for it, so it's hard to do anything with that.
Is there any role for government in deciding if something is misinformation or disinformation? One of my concerns is really that the government will decide to filter the content that gets to the public. I think what we want is that everybody reports the news and the public decides for themselves what they think about it.
Is there anything in this bill that would allow the government or the CRTC to exclude something based on it being misinformation or disinformation?
