Uqaqtittiji , I am going to read a section from Bill C-11. It reads: programming that reflects the Indigenous cultures of Canada and programming that is in Indigenous languages should be provided—including through broadcasting undertakings that are carried on by Indigenous persons—within community elements, which are positioned to serve smaller and remote communities, and other elements of the Canadian broadcasting system; Can the member please tell me what is so scary and so concerning about this section?

Uqaqtittiji, one of the sections in Bill C-11 says, “the Canadian broadcasting system shall be effectively owned and controlled by Canadians, and it is recognized that it includes foreign broadcasting undertakings that provide programming to Canadians”. Could the member explain how Margaret Atwood might say that this is creeping totalitarianism?
