“This bill is about protecting children. Regulating social media, AI, and chatbots is a good thing. I want us to send this bill to committee to work out the details. I ask the member if he agrees with the main idea of the bill, and what he thinks about creating a commission to hold these tech companies accountable.”
“Madam Speaker, put very simply, this legislation is all about protecting our children. I think everyone in the House recognizes the value of that. Putting in regulations that would ultimately deal with social media services, AI, chatbots and so forth is a good thing. I believe the member would concur with that. There has been some misinformation. If we take a look at pornography, it is being dealt with in a very limiting way to protect the interests of children. There are also age verification issues within that. Would the member not recognize that the principle of the legislation is sound and that we need to get it to committee stage, where a lot of the details could be fleshed out? In particular, I am a big advocate of the commission. I think the commission is one of the ways in which we could see an enforcement of the regulations to hold these services and programmers to account. I would like his thoughts on that specifically.”
