The bill would force internet service providers to report child pornography and would create new offences under the Criminal Code
Ottawa's online harms bill is not expected to force commercial porn sites for adults to verify the age of users in order to stop children accessing them, however.Ottawa’s long-awaited online harms bill, to be introduced on Monday, would make websites take stronger action to take down child pornography.
Instead, the government is expected to speak in more general terms about the need to protect children online. Ottawa has distanced itself from earlier indications that it planned to bring in age verification for porn sites through the bill. Earlier this weekaccused Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre of “spreading lies” about the upcoming bill, while supporting a separate Senate bill that would bring in age verification for porn sites.
“I was surprised by the declaration of Prime Minister Trudeau because what he said is not what my bill does,” she said. “I think he mischaracterized the content of my bill. I fully expect that in the regulations that will be adopted there will be age verification by third-party sites.” The government leader in the Senate, Marc Gold, said at the time the online harms bill would be “the most appropriate forum, in the context of that legislation, to discuss this important issue.”
