Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault has come under fire for changes to his bill to update Canada's Broadcasting Act. As of late last week, Bill C-10 was still before the House Heritage Committee. Mr. Guilbeault has said that his government has no interest in restricting or regulating social media posts through Bill C-10. No one is suggesting that the CRTC, which operates at arm's-length from the government, is eager to do so either. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade
