The Canadian government has confirmed that it will bring back a bill aimed at regulating speech on the internet by the end of the year.
A previous bill, Bill C-36, which was introduced in June 2021, expired before it was passed. The bill aimed to broaden the definition of “hate speech” to ban content “likely to foment detestation or vilification,” and offenders would have been fined $70,000.
Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez was questioned in parliament about a bill to regulate the internet.
