Last November the Canadian Heritage Minister, The Honourable Steven Guilbeault, introduced Bill C-10 to extend similar regulations to internet media - such as Netflix, Spotify and Amazon Prime - that currently govern Canadian television and broadcast stations.In Canada, TV and radio are regulated by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, otherwise referred to as the CRTC, and there is a minimum ‘Canadian Content’ requirement in order to maintain license to broadcast.The Heritage Minister maintains that with the shift of media consumption to digital platforms and streaming services such regulation is important because it will ensure ‘Canadian content’ will get priority exposure when dealing with “Canadian audiences.”Several MPs flagged the bill as problematic in the fall but it was not until Liberal Members of Parliament made changes recently at the Heritage Committee that experts started sounding an alarm. Changes made to the bill at committee would allow the CRTC to regulate the user-generated content of Canadians uploaded to social media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. The concern in this is that every day Canadians, or grass roots journalists, could become increasingly censored and that this would be a massive encroachment on individual free speech.Popular social media commentators such as JJ McCullough and The Honourable Michelle Rempel Garner have begun taking to their online platforms calling on Canadians to speak out before it is too late.My guest for this show, The Honourable Pierre Poilievre did a video that is past half a million views.Clearly Canadians are who use these platforms concerned. The story has also not gone unnoticed by the Toronto Sun who printed cover page story with the title “Basic Dictatorship” - the most anti-internet government in Canadian history angles for full censorship powers over the web and CBC printing an article “Your free speech is at risk with Ottawa’s push to regulate online content, experts warn”.Joining me to unpack it all, and. more, is the Honourable Pierre Poilievre. One of Canada’s most popular conservatives he represents the riding of Nepean—Carlton in the Ottawa area. He has served as the Minister for Democratic Reform, Minister of Employment and Social Development, Shadow Minister of Finance and is currently the Shadow Minister for Jobs and Industry.
