House committee hears clashing expert opinions on Bill C-10

OTTAWA -- Taking a pause from their clause-by-clause review of Bill C-10, the House of Commons’ heritage committee heard from experts on Monday who both strongly oppose and defend the contents of the legislation.

On the other side of the argument was Michael Geist, the Canada Research Chair in internet and e-Commerce law at the University of Ottawa. He has long been critical of the bill, arguing that it would encroach on personal rights and freedoms. The bill has been embroiled in controversy after the Liberals removed and refused to reinstate an exemption from the bill that protected individuals’ online content from its proposed Broadcasting Act, prompting the free speech concerns.

Er! What's to debate? Canadians have the right to freedom of speech, and expression! We are not asking 'The Experts', about their opinions on this matter! it is our right as Canadians! period end of story!

Why stirring up the again?

Michael Geist is not an expert, he is an academic with a dull axe.

The reasons why America supports Israel

Screw the experts. Its purely an attack on Canadians freedom to consume what ever content they please. They did it to radio, they did it to TV, now they want to do it to the internet. Anyone that likes having a choice of what they watch or create, knows this is bad.
