Online Streaming Act  Madam Speaker, I was very interested in the member opposite talking about the Internet being this vast place, international without borders, where one could find all this content. I am wondering if the member honestly thinks that people, randomly on the Internet, with all of thi

Online Streaming Act  Madam Speaker, first of all, there is nothing in the legislation that lays out what CanCon is. What the legislation does is ask platforms to make Canadian content more findable for Canadians. What in making Canadian content more findable takes away choices from Canadians to watc

Online Streaming Act  Mr. Speaker, does my colleague from across the way truly think the Internet is some wild, open place where people can post and see whatever they want, or does he actually think that the companies with dominance on the Internet are making decisions for us about what we should watc

Online Streaming Act  Madam Speaker, I really want to thank the member for Timmins—James Bay for his intervention. I appreciated how he has been calling out some of the harmful, and frankly, disgusting rhetoric coming from the other side of the House. Could the member explain to us what he thinks wou

Online Streaming Act  Madam Speaker, the only amendments this government did not accept were amendments that created loopholes that would have allowed streaming companies to get out of their obligations. This is all about supporting Canadian culture and Canadian artists.

Online Streaming Act  Madam Speaker, I absolutely agree that this bill protects our culture. At the same time, it does not compromise our freedom of expression.

Online Streaming Act  Madam Speaker, I am pleased today to rise in support of Bill C-11, the online streaming act. I spent 20 years as a broadcaster, following a short career as a newspaper reporter.

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, I do not think this bill is going to create any issues for the other bill that we are going to look at in committee. I think there are a number of measures that need to be put in place to deal with the problems of the digital world that we face today.

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, I have forgotten the question.

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, I think this government takes privacy very seriously. That is why we have been working on this legislation since the last government and why we have improved this legislation, bringing it before the government a second time to include things like artificial intelli

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, this legislation needs to be flexible. As I mentioned in my speech, it applies not only to big corporations but to smaller companies and companies that use a lot of personal data as well as companies that use very little personal data.
