Mr. Moore, I disagree with pretty much everything you just said in terms of how you've characterized things. What I would say to you is to actually look at the constitutional record internationally.
We looked at France, Australia, Germany and England. In France, a takedown provision across all sets of content, including hatred content, was struck down as unconstitutional. That's specifically why we are not pursuing that. We have a takedown provision within 24 hours of child pornography and revenge porn. I hope we can agree on that, Liberals and Conservatives. We do not have an immediate takedown provision over other materials. That's the first point.
The second point is that you talked about the author Margaret Atwood. I have tremendous respect for Margaret Atwood. I've invited her into conversation about the nuances of this bill. She has a concern about freedom of expression. I share that concern. I'm duty-bound to uphold freedom of expression. I swore an oath to the Constitution. I'm the only cabinet minister who does. What we've done, through a careful approach, is to look at how we can calibrate the important need to keep Canadians safe and to protect liberty of expression.
If you had listened to Carla Beauvais at the press conference, you would have heard her talk about the fact that her own speech is being curtailed because she is so intimidated from participating in public discourse. We're trying to empower that public discourse.
There are safeguards in the bill that I would urge you to look at, about how Facebook makes its determinations in terms of ensuring that they respect freedom of speech, how the digital safety commissioner must ensure that non-discrimination occurs—
