Mr. Speaker, there is no culture without freedom of expression, just to point out the disinformation from that member. He says that all artists support this, even Margaret Atwood. No Conservative has said that this bill represents creeping totalitarianism. It gives the power to a woke agency, the CRTC, named by Liberals, to manipulate social media algorithms in order to shut down voices it does not want people to hear. When will the government realize that Orwell's 1984 was not an instruction manual?

Madam Speaker, I really like debating in the House, and I am pleased to know that the Leader of the Opposition and I share a love of Orwell. Orwell said, and I quote, “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” We know how Orwell defined freedom of expression, but how does my colleague from Carleton define it?
