Canadian Justice Minister's online safety bill faces opposition over costs and bureaucracy concerns.

Justice Minister Arif Virani's Online Harms Act, aimed at protecting Canadians online, faces opposition from the Conservatives over its $200 million cost and concerns about creating excessive bureaucracy. Both parties agree on the need to address online harms but have not reached a consensus on legislation. The bill remains stuck in the House of Commons, with the Conservatives threatening to repeal it if they form the government.
