Angus introduces net neutrality bill

NDP MP Charlie Angus introduced a net neutrality bill (C-552) in the Canadian Parliament this week. The bill would

“prohibit network operators from engaging in network management practices that favour, degrade or prioritize any content, application or service transmitted over a broadband network based on its source, ownership or destination, subject to certain exceptions.”

It is not likely the bill will pass, especially since the Liberal Party and Bloc  Québécois have yet to get behind the net neutrality movement. The NDP would need the support of both parties to get it past Conservative Party opposition.
