Cabinet has rejected a Senate amendment to Bill C-11 related to user-generated content. C-11 is the Liberals’ controversial legislation that aims to regulate certain areas of the internet in Canada.

The Senate’s proposed amendment to the bill was meant to protect user-generated content on social media and open-creator platforms like YouTube from the regulating power of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).
