The Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) estimates that the creation of new regulators under the proposed Online Harms Act, also known as Bill C-63, will cost Canada approximately $200 million over five years. The act, introduced by the Liberal government, aims to address online harms and includes the establishment of a 'digital safety commission.' This commission will consist of a 330-person enforcement team. The bill has sparked controversy and debate over its implications for online censorship and taxpayer expenses.
