Good on PM @MarkJCarney and Minister @MarcMillerVM for standing up for affordability. They deserve full credit for finding a way to support Canadian content without raising streaming costs or reducing choice.

PM Carney on CRTC's decision to increase streamers' financial contributions: "This is not the time to raise the cost for Canadians."

My statement on today’s announcement from Minister @MarcMillerVM.

This is a big win for consumers 👏

[Chamber of Progress @ProgressChamber]

“The CRTC’s spending obligations were way out of line internationally and would have driven up costs for consumers. Minister Miller deserves full credit for supporting Canadian content without raising costs or reducing choice for Canadians,” says @jdtabish

[CANADALAND @CANADALAND]

Sweeping powers, secret orders, the beginning of a surveillance state…

What actually is the Liberals’ new lawful access legislation: Bill C 22?

The Conservatives are calling on the Liberal government to “reject” the CRTC’s recent decision tripling streamers’ financial contributions. https://t.co/2ntsymRzUb

[Michael Geist @mgeist]

The RCMP appeared before the Public Safety and National Security committee yesterday and affirmed that critics' concerns about Bill C-22 are well justified. The bill is about police gaining access to backdoors and encrypted communications.

1/ The government wants Bill C-22 to be a debate about Big Tech hypocrisy -- but don't fall for it.

It's actually a debate about Canadian sovereignty. 🧵 https://t.co/TnwcdogN24

Canadian Government: Tech companies are misleading the public on security backdoors and breaking encryption in Bill C-22
RCMP: We welcome Bill C-22 because we need security backdoors and the legal tools to break encryption

[Josh Tabish @jdtabish]

Talk about saying the quiet part loud...

[David T.S. Fraser @privacylawyer]

Wow. The @rcmpgrcpolice witness at #SECU just said encryption is the problem and Bill C-22 Lawful Access is the solution.

[Anja Karadeglija @AnjaKaradeglija]

The Conservatives called on the Liberals Thursday to "reject" the CRTC’s recent decision tripling streamers’ financial contributions, but the government says it doesn't have that power

Wait till the staffer class realizes @signalapp might leave Canada over Bill C-22 and all their messages are suddenly ATIP-able 🤔 https://t.co/QpXsjjPFwK
