Talking point: Holland laid out the Liberals’ priorities as the House of Commons sat for the first time since December 2021. A new law to combat online harms was included with the other measures as an urgent priority in the Liberals’ re-election platform, which promised bills on those subjects within 100 days. Measured from the October day Justin Trudeau announced his new cabinet, that deadline is Wednesday. The Liberals shared draft legislation on online harms in the summer, which authorities on online speech slammed as censorious and impractical.
