Parliamentary Budget Officer Yves Giroux suggests it’s up to Canadians to decide whether they believe the government’s proposal to create a new regulator against online harms amounts to bureaucracy, or a necessary enforcement tool.
Last week Mr. Giroux issued a cost estimate for the government’s new online harms legislation would cost around $201 million over five years based on an estimate from Canadian Heritage that it will take up to 300 staff to enforce it.
