The Liberal government\u0027s controversial online\u002Dstreaming bill is back in the upper chamber, where senator who opposed it expects it to pass.
If passed, Bill C-11 would update broadcasting rules to include online streaming and require tech giants such as YouTube, Netflix and Spotify to make Canadian content available to users in Canada — or face steep penalties.
“All the debate about this bill has been completely polluted and very well-organized by bot campaigns,” said Simons, adding that she still gets hundreds of emails weekly from automated campaigns that spread false information about the bill. Simons, who said she sought to quiet the firestorm of disinformation surrounding the bill, had endorsed an amendment that would have added further protections for individuals who post content online, from comedy acts to instructional videos.
Ultimately, the House of Commons rejected the amendment, which was also endorsed by YouTube, because MPs felt it would create a loophole for tech giants to avoid contributing to Canadian content.“At the end of the day, the government ran on this bill. It was part of their election platform,” Simons said — the Liberals had promised similar legislation during their previous minority-government mandate.
