CRTC COMMISSION CHAIR TOLD THE TRUTH BY MISTAKE

   Conservative MP Rachael Thomas says that Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) chair Ian Scott walked back comments that Bill C-11 would lead to the policing of online algorithms because “he told the truth by mistake.”
   In June, Scott told the Senate Standing Committee on Transport and Communications that the Trudeau government’s controversial internet regulation bill could be used to mandate web platforms manipulate their algorithms.
   Thomas, who is the Conservative heritage critic, told True North in an email Thursday that the issue was not that Scott’s comments were taken out of context, but rather that “he told the truth by mistake and now wants to walk it back.”
