Mr. Speaker, I have heard from hundreds of constituents in Kelowna—Lake Country expressing their concerns about the Liberal government’s attempted overreach to regulate individual Canadian Internet users through Bill C-10.
The Macdonald-Laurier Institute stated Bill C-10, “constitutes a full-blown assault” on free expression.
University of Ottawa Professor Michael Geist, Canada's Research Chair in Internet and E-commerce Law, said that Bill C-10 represents, “an exceptionally heavy-handed regulatory approach where a government-appointed regulator decides what individual user generated content is prioritized”.
The CBC reported, “free speech is at risk”.
However, the Prime Minister says that those in Parliament who question him on this topic wear tinfoil hats.
Now the Liberal Minister of Canadian Heritage has been trying to undo the confusing pretzel of information he has twisted, but Canadians in this free and democratic country are smarter than he thinks they are.
Conservatives will persist in standing for the freedoms of Canadians who post their content online.
