432-01189 (Media and telecommunications)

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.
