Maxime Blanchette-Joncas Bloc Québécois
“We need rules to keep children safe online. But this bill creates a new safety group, and we do not know its powers or what platforms it will watch. I want to know what my colleague thinks about the government asking us to pass a bill without these basic details.”
“Mr. Speaker, I commend my colleague on her speech. I believe we share the same point of view on the need to regulate digital safety, particularly for children. I would like to hear her thoughts on the new digital safety commission that will be established. We do not know the parameters or what powers it will have. We also do not know which platforms it will regulate. Does my colleague not think that the government is doing things a bit backwards? As legislators, we are being asked to pass a bill, but we do not have a full understanding of the parameters involved.”
