The Minority Liberal Government’s Bill C-10 has been put on hold after the Senate paused for the summer before voting on the bill.
This bill would make changes to the Broadcasting Act, among other things.
Many conservatives are against this bill, including MP for Dauphin, Neepawa, and Swan River Dan Mazier.
“There are parts of this bill where the government can actually go in and say ‘This kind of speech is unacceptable for society so we’re going to limit this post.’ It goes right into if you post something on Facebook and the government finds it offensive, they can take it down.”
The bill passed the third reading on June 22nd.
If an election is called before Bill C-10 is re-introduced the bill will die. It would have to be re-tabled by a new government and go through all legislative stages again before becoming law.
