Liberal MP Julie Dabrusin questioned the Facebook's tactics in the Australian dispute, noting the change came during a crisis when reliable public information is essential.
“Do you think it’s an appropriate negotiation strategy with a government to cut access to the news, including public health news, during what is a pandemic?” she asked.
Kevin Chan, Facebook’s head of public policy in Canada said the company didn’t want to take such a step, but also didn’t rule out similar measures if Canada adopts similar laws.
“It is never going to be something that we would ever want to do, unless we really have no choice,” he said.
