In my opinion, yes.
The bill strikes an interesting and effective balance. There is a provision pertaining to impersonation. I believe paragraph 480.1(1)b) pertains to false representation of what someone said. That part is a bit too vague. I will give you the wording of that provision after my colleagues have answered your questions. Other than that, I think the rest of it is sound.
There is another aspect of the bill that has to be considered: where technology use is referred to as deepfakes. There is a sunset clause. Right now, disclosure is desired. It is more broadly prohibited for now, but there is the option to reinterpret in the future if necessary and if artificial intelligence becomes perfectly acceptable and widespread and no longer poses a problem.
Those are the two problems I see, but otherwise Bill C‑25 strikes a good balance, in my opinion.
