Digital policy surrounding privacy, cybersecurity and AI must be central to Mark Carney’s agenda Whatever existential threat Canada faces, technology is at the centre of it. It will also be at the centre of the next CUSMA negotiations.

Online harms bill to be split in two after being stuck in Commons, held up by filibustering Justice Minister Arif Virani plans to separate parts two and three of Bill C-63, splitting measures to protect children from online abuse from new offences critics say are heavy-handed

Online Harms Bill #C63 split. This is an impt step. Pre-study starts tomorrow with Justice - I appear Monday. Part 1 aligns with global standards, some of which were developed by conservative govts. This could and should be bipartisan. The structure is sound, now for amendments. shorturl.at/xKe4C
