Contrary to the claims in the proposal sponsored by billionaire media companies and ISPs Bell and Rogers, piracy is actually on the decline. See this study among many others.

Stop trying to shove Bell's corporate nonsense down our throats. The CRTC rejected a plan very similar to this in 2018. Start regulating ISP's and require them to offer and advertise affordable, high speed internet connections to Canadians and stop their absurd advertising practices, where they advertise a large first year discount but can still jack up the underlying internet cost.

This plan is short-sighted, the internet is meant to be free and these measures will do very little to stop piracy, which again, thanks to the rise of streaming services is already minimal.

On the off-chance this actually gets to anyone that matters, STOP DOING THIS STUFF THAT LITERALLY NO CANADIAN WANTS AND START DOING ELECTION REFORM LIKE YOUR PLATFORM PROMISED WHEN WE ELECTED YOU.

If there's an actual need for a "Modern Copyright Framework for Online Intermediaries", it SHOULD NOT be backed, sponsored, approved, or written by companies like Bell or Rogers, companies that have abused Canadians bank accounts for multiple generations. It MUST have a fully independent, apolitical oversight committee that can reverse obvious abuses by media companies, and both ISP's and media companies should be required to run their requests through the oversight committee before acting on them. This nonsense MUST NOT add burden to our overburdened court system. Additionally, members of the committee MUST be carefully selected for their knowledge, integrity, and experience - former judges, great, former Rogers or Bell execs, terrible. Future Rogers or Bell execs, also terrible. There is ZERO reason any of this is necessary in the first place, so make Rogers and Bell and any other media holders pay for it with absolutely zero influence over who is selected, put term limits on those selected.

Keep the internet free and open. This is an absurd proposal, will not do what it purports to do, and will only make it harder to use one of the greatest tools mankind has at its disposal.

Thanks,
