That's precisely the conclusion of the explanatory document. The relevant considerations set out in the charter statement remain valid, and these considerations are not impacted by the proposed amendments.

Mr. Minister, would you agree that the charter statement carefully considers that the CRTC, in making any regulations on the discoverability issue, including with respect to algorithms, would have to respect the charter, including section 2(b), as opposed to the social media companies themselves, which do not have to respect the charter in their use of algorithms?

Both the charter statement and the explanatory document took into account all of the various changes that went into the act, and we have concluded that there wasn't a change to the original conclusion of the charter statement.
If you would like a more precise answer on the content of the actual act, I will turn the floor over to Minister Guilbeault, who is responsible for explaining and defending the bill.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to both ministers for being here today.
Mr. Lametti, you said in your opening statement that the principle of freedom of expression was not absolute. Like it or not, it has its limits.
Can you give us examples of situations in which limiting freedom of expression would be justified?

I'd like to thank the honourable member for his question.
Although it's an important question, I must say that I am here to explain the purpose of charter statements and to discuss the explanatory document we provided.
I am not here to give lessons on the charter and certainly not legal opinions. Answering a hypothetical question could lead me into very dangerous territory, as justice minister.
If you have any questions about Bill C-10, I will defer to my colleague Mr. Guilbeault.

No, Minister. My question was about something you said in your opening statement. I was simply asking for specific examples of what you, yourself, said about freedom of expression not being absolute. Obviously, there are cases where freedom of expression has to be limited to a certain extent. I was simply asking you to clarify what you said. I wasn't asking you for a legal opinion or anything of that nature.
Can you give me some examples?

I am not going to give any examples, but as I said, rights and freedoms are clearly not absolute. In many areas of law, you can find numerous situations in which rights set out in a charter, be it a Canadian or Quebec charter, are limited by other acts or regulations.
What the charter statement does is examine the consistency of the bill with the charter, overall.
As per the statement and the explanatory document, we concluded that the issues…. The fact of the matter is that I can't provide you with a specific answer since the statement can't be specific.

No, the question was not directly related to Bill C-10, Mr. Minister. It could have been about any bill.
However, this is a good example. The bill before us is more complex than just the matter of freedom of expression. I am wondering whether, after the bill is passed, people will still have an opportunity to challenge parts of it if they want to, if they are concerned or uncomfortable.
This is simply a question about procedures and how the justice system works.

Okay, thank you.
Perhaps this is a question I could ask your colleague Minister Guilbeault, who is also here today, but do you feel that we could add the wording to this bill right now that would reassure people who think that freedom of expression is currently being infringed upon? Do you have any idea what we could put in the bill to deal with this issue once and for all?

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank my colleague for his question.
Clearly, the committee is sovereign and has the power to propose amendments that it believes will improve the bill. I was the first to admit from the beginning that any bill could be improved.
As you know, we are a minority government. In that context, we have already worked extensively with the opposition parties on a number of amendments. We remain open to working with them throughout the committee's work, of course.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Minister, thank you for finally agreeing to come and meet with us. I'm very pleased.
Let me first ask you a very simple question. Does section 2(b) of the charter protect users' freedom of expression and the content they put online, yes or no?

Thank you for the question, Mr. Rayes.
As I said at the outset, I am not here to give legal opinions or advice. That is not my role today. I never do that in public. It's true that, generally speaking, section 2(b) protects freedom of expression, but I'm not going to go into the details hypothetically. That is not my role today.
