Google says it will volunteer its top execs to testify at parliamentary committee

Google says it's going to volunteer a few of its high executives to testify at a parliamentary committee.

In an announcement, the corporate says it goals to work constructively with the heritage committee that's finding out the actions of Google after the Silicon Valley big ran a five-week check that blocked information hyperlinks to a few of its Canadian customers.

The check was meant to evaluate the consequences of a possible response to Invoice C-18, the Liberal authorities's controversial On-line Information Act.

A spokesperson says Google will likely be making their president of world affairs and chief authorized officer, Kent Walker and vice chairman of stories, Richard Gingras accessible to satisfy with the committee.

Each rejected a summons by the committee earlier this month.

The top of Google Canada appeared of their place, however Google says it acknowledges that MPs on the committee proceed to have questions that they want to have answered.
