Bill would give CRTC power over user-generated content, but it won't use it: chair

But Ian Scott predicted at a House of Commons committee that this would never happen as the broadcast regulator has no interest in overseeing content produced by individuals.

"It's nice to see that the truth is finally out on the table," Benzie said. "The bill captures everything. Once the CRTC has these powers, it is real tough to undo legislation." Scott's five-year tenure as chair ends in September and the federal government is already accepting applications for his job, with a salary of up to $328,000 a year. The job advertisement seeks experience in digital media, broadcast or telecommunications.

It said if the CRTC opts to put regulations in place, they would have to be designed to achieve the Broadcasting Act's policy objectives.

Horse pucky

same reasoning when the fox asked and got hen house keys..these people always seem crooked and public gets shit they get big salaries and possibly big bribes..how did only a few own everything, we get same bias slanted news..piss off

Where my country gone?

Yeah give us the power but oh trust us and all those that follow us in this position.🤣🤣🙉🙈🐵🙊

'but won't use it' Hahaha total BS!!!

Don't trust these people at all.

Yeah right, why do they need it then?

I'd like to see them exert power over predatory mobile gaming practices tbh.

CRTC has too much power as it is. No more

Lol, sure.

We will be given great power, but we promise we won't use it. Are people really this stupid?

Campaign promise keep Thank you

Nonsense

Right… it wont use it…

Well if it won't use it then they don't need it.

If your MP is anything other than conservative, call them and demand they not support this bill.

Every criminal never intended to use the gun.

When will Canadians ever wake up to this? Thank God for Michael Geist and all his reporting on this topic. The majority of Canadians simply do not understand the issue.

How stupid do they think the public are? It's only there to be used. If it's not going to be used, then it doesn't need inclusion in the bill. Stand up to censorship.

Easy decision then. Do not give them that power.
