Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said at an Edmonton news conference on Wednesday that legislation to protect Canadians against online harm is coming next week, which he says will be focused on protecting children. He also pushed back against Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s accusations that the bill will promote censorship, saying that Poilievre “hasn’t even seen the legislation.”
