CRTC Chairman Ian Scott says the CRTC can handle the task of implementing the Liberal government’s controversial online streaming legislation, including safeguarding freedom of expression.
Speaking at Ryerson University in Toronto, Scott shrugged off critics’ concerns about giving the broadcast and telecom regulator the responsibility of figuring out how to put Bill C-11 into practice.
“Users of online and social media services expect freedom of expression, and they will continue to enjoy this under the new Broadcasting Act,” Scott said in the speech Friday, according to a transcript made available by the CRTC Monday.
