Canada’s Senate sent back Trudeau’s internet censorship Bill C-11 to the House of Commons with amendments after passing it last month.
Senators Julie Miville-Dechene and Paula Simons added amendments that would more or less exclude user content on social media from any regulatory administration by the CRTC. As it stands, C-11 will now go back to the Upper Chamber, where Senators can either accept it as is or again demand changes be made. Normally, once the Senate passes a bill, it will be given Royal Assent and become law. However, procedure dictates that for a bill to become law the text passed by both the Senate and House of Commons must be exactly the same. Since the Senate had made multiple amendments to Bill C-11, which the House has now rejected, the Senate can either relent and allow the House to have its way, or stand its ground and re-demand the House accept the changes it made to the legislation. The bill has faced immense criticism for its implications on freedom of speech, and even Big Tech giants YouTube and Apple, which both have a history of enacting their own forms of censorship on users, had urged the Senate to stall the bill. In effect, Bill C-11, if given Royal Assent, would mandate that Canada’s telecommunications regulator, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), be in charge of regulating online content from platforms such as YouTube and Netflix to ensure that such platforms are promoting content in accordance with a variety of CRTC guidelines. While Bill C-11 initially passed Canada’s Senate last month with 43 votes in favor and 15 opposed, it is only able to become law on the condition that multiple amendments added by the senators are adopted by the House of Commons. Due to this, the status of C-11 is now uncertain, as the Trudeau Liberals rejected the changes made by senators. All Conservative-appointed senators present in the Senate chamber had voted “no” on the bill, and only three senators appointed by Trudeau voted against it.
