The Nova Scotia government has confirmed they will be drafting new Cyber-Safety legislation.
The justice department said Thursday they are working on a new act to protect people of all ages from cyberbullying.
Last week, the provincial government said they were unsure if they were going to write a new piece of legislation or scrap the act entirely.

The Cyber-Safety Act was originally written and brought into legislation in just three weeks, following the death of Rehtaeh Parsons and severe public outcry.
In December, 2015, the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia struck down the law, saying it was unconstitutional.
This time around, the government says they want to get the law right.
“We have work to do over the next several months to gather the legal expertise and input needed to make sure the new act is strong, protects the public and addresses the concerns raised in the court decision,” said Nova Scotia Justice Minister Diana Whalen.
“We want to get this right and that means finding a balance between the important right to freedom of speech and the protection of victims of cyberbullying.”
The earliest the new legislation will be introduced is in the fall.
