Yes, the language of net neutrality specifically is not in the act. We've talked about enshrining the principle, perhaps, although it seems more symbolic than anything because when you look at section 36 of the act, you see that “a Canadian carrier shall not control...or influence the meaning or purpose of telecommunications carried by it for the public”. That's one important component of it.
The second important component is subsection 27(2), which is that a Canadian carrier cannot “unjustly discriminate or give an undue or unreasonable preference toward any person, including itself, or subject any person to an undue or unreasonable disadvantage”.
Those twin provisions in the Telecommunications Act seem to, based on all the testimony we've heard, cover all the ground necessary to protect net neutrality, and all we would be doing is enshrining this general principle as a preamble of sorts. How effective do you think that is?
