The Financial Post reports in its Tuesday edition that federal advocacy group that advocates for the protection of consumer rights is taking on the Quebec government for its attempts to censor the Internet. The Post's Sean Craig writes that the Public Interest Advocacy Centre, a registered charity, filed an application Monday with the CRTC in objection to Bill 74, a law passed earlier this year that gives Loto-Quebec, the provincial gambling authority, the power to order Internet service providers to block its on-line competitors. PIAC's application argues that Bill 74 encroaches on the federal government's jurisdiction over telecommunications. The federal Telecommunications Act says the CRTC has to approve when a Canadian carrier can "control the content or influence the meaning or purpose of telecommunications carried by it for the public." On the other hand, Bill 74 allows the Province of Quebec to tell carriers what content it can or cannot transmit. Last month, the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association -- which includes Videotron, Rogers, Bell and Telus -- opposed the legislation in part because it would require expensive new infrastructure, the costs of which could be passed on to consumers.
