OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre vowed Thursday to repeal the Liberals' Online Harms Act should it become law, the same day the parliamentary budget officer estimated that setting up proposed new regulators would cost $200 million over five years.
The budget watchdog says the Heritage Department estimates those new entities will employ about 300 people when they're fully up and running. Costs may also be higher if the new entities decide to use outside consulting services or legal support, the report says. The party also sent out an email blast to supporters asking them to help Poilievre defeat what it called the"three-headed monster" — or a trio of Liberal bills that seek to regulate tech giants.
"The Liberals' controversial legislation has received significant criticism from concerned Canadians and raised alarm amongst legal experts and civil rights advocates," she said in her own statement.
