The prime minister says Ottawa would not impede on freedom of press after resolution from party asking for naming of journalists' sources.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday he will not implement a Liberal Party policy passed at its weekend convention that could lead to journalists having to disclose their confidential sources.
The resolution was passed by party members, making it Liberal policy. It was proposed by B.C. Liberals and had been discussed for around a year and a half by Liberal party members before being chosen for a vote at the Liberal national convention. Facebook’s head of public policy for Canada, Rachel Curran, told MPs that although news “has a real social value,” it “doesn’t have much of an economic value to Meta,” Facebook’s parent company.
He had previously accepted an invitation to appear, but decided not to come after the hearing’s title was posted. The hearing was called “Tech Giants’ Use of Intimidation Tactics” but MPs voted to change it Monday. Ms. Fry, who heard his remark, informed him that he was speaking into an open mike, that everyone had heard him and that his comment was inappropriate.
