  • Re: Bill C-11 
Mr. Speaker, what Conservatives know is that we will always stand up for our creative industries and fight on their behalf, so we can see Canadian creators succeed here at home and around the globe. Yesterday at committee, communications expert Monica Auer said, “gaps in Bill C-11 will make current serious problems with the CRTC's transparency, accountability and timing even worse” and “court challenges of its implementation by the CRTC will create long delays and cost Canada and those working in its creative sectors quite dearly.” Will the government stand up for new creative industries, admit that its strategy is flawed and fully exempt user-generated content?

Mr. Speaker, the Liberals claim that user-generated content will be exempt from regulation under Bill C-11. However, the bill states in black and white that the CRTC will have the power to regulate all content that directly or indirectly generates revenues. This means that almost all content will be regulated. Experts are against the idea. Can the minister categorically assure us that all user-generated content will be exempt, yes or no?
