Liberals support Net Neutrality
“In a free and open democracy in the 21st century, in an innovative and progressive economy, no tool is more paramount than the Internet,” said Mr. Garneau. “The Internet is the backbone of today’s flow of free ideas.”
Mr. Garneau asked the Conservative government whether they supported net neutrality but Industry Minister Tony Clement refused to answer the question.
“The issue of net neutrality is a global one,” said Mr. Garneau. “Internet management should be neutral and not be permitted for anti-competitive behaviour nor should it target certain websites, users, providers or legitimate software applications. We must protect the openness and freedom of the internet, and maintain competition to spur innovation, improve service levels and reduce costs to users.”
