Stop Internet Censorship

Oppose Bill C-34

On June 10, the Carney government introduced its latest attempt to regulate speech online. Bill C-34 would create a new bureaucracy, the Digital Safety Commission of Canada, with three to five commissioners tasked with overseeing online speech for all Canadians under the stated aim of protecting children.

While the CCF supports keeping kids safe, Bill C-34 would require platforms and AI companies to reduce exposure to what the government calls “harmful content,” shifting decisions about acceptable public discourse away from citizens and toward a handful of bureaucrats in Ottawa.

Most shockingly, the bill would censor the output of artificial intelligence chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini to ensure they don’t give “harmful” answers on sensitive topics.

Bill C-34 may be the greatest threat to free speech in decades.

Safety doesn't mean censorship.

A free society depends on strong protections for freedom of expression, including speech that is controversial or unpopular. The power to label unfavourable speech as “harmful” undermines those protections and shifts control over public discourse from Canadians to government-appointed regulators.

I oppose Bill C-34 and its expansion of government control over online speech.

Parliament must protect Canadians’ Charter rights and ensure that freedom of expression is not weakened by overbroad internet censorship.
