> But instead of replacing a similar provision, the official languages bill replaced the privacy provision instead. That means the streaming bill now has two similarly-worded provisions around linguistic communities, and none dealing with privacy.

Literal high school-level mistake of not double checking what you’re about to replace in the document.

> Sen. Julie Miville-Dechêne introduced an amendment, based on the recommendation of the federal privacy commissioner, which then became part of the legislation.It stated the Online Streaming Act would be construed and applied in a manner consistent with individuals’ right to privacy. Miville-Dechêne said she was upset by the mistake.

> “And I’m a bit surprised, because I thought there were many levels of verification…But, you know, mistakes happen. I think now the question is that it has to be corrected quickly.”

You’d think the senator would be a little more than “surprised”? How are our verification systems so shit that an entire section of the law can get deleted without anyone noticing, except a law professor 2 months later?

Makes you wonder what other little oopsies parliamentarians have in their bills that we have no idea about…
