Yes, and I'm not sure if that's deliberate or not.
Really, we think this is better dealt with in the context of the pending online harms legislation. This will determine what Canadians see online, whether it's something that appears in your social media feed or your YouTube recommendations. It's even something as innocuous as a Canadian company deciding how to rank camping gear for purchase by Canadians using an automated system.
The regulatory obligations proposed in this bill are really going to impact the way those systems work. We think this is better dealt with in a context where we can have a free, robust discussion about where the line should be drawn in terms of the content that Canadians see. I know department officials have said that this provision is designed to deal with misinformation, for instance. Let's have a discussion about where that line should be drawn in the context of a bill that's designed to deal with that.
