Mr. Stursberg raised a very good point about the need for Canadian companies not only to be able to make the investments we want, but to be able to attract investments as well.
One of the things the bill gets right is to treat foreign Internet broadcasters the same as Canadian broadcasters. In doing so, it removes some limits on foreign ownership. We're not necessarily advocating for foreign ownership, but we do need to have the ability to attract foreign investment, if necessary, to compete against these trillion-dollar giants from Silicon Valley and Hollywood.
This is where the question of flexibility comes in. We want to create Canadian programming, but if our primary competitors are creating Canadian programming with billion of dollars coming from international markets, we need the capability to be able to do the same.
