Petition to the House of Commons
We, the undersigned citizens and residents of Canada, draw the attention of the House of Commons to the following:
Whereas, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) already has sweeping regulatory powers over traditional forms of media.
Whereas, the original mandate of C-10 was to expand Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regulatory powers to include online platforms such as Netflix and Hulu.
Whereas, Liberal members of the Heritage Committee voted for an amendment to Bill C-10 that would include social media platforms and other internet platforms within the jurisdiction of CRTC regulation.
Therefore we, the undersigned, call on the government of Canada to:
1. Respect Canadians' fundamental right to freedom of expression.
2. Prevent internet censorship in Canada.
- Presented to the House of Commons
