We too are still in the early stages of analyzing the ins and outs of the new legislation. However, there is a general definition that says it is to produce news and general news. This is in the bill at the moment. So it's essentially directed at that purpose.
As time goes on, as well as with open processes and public consultations, it's up to us to see and define what is general and what it refers to. Our analysis so far suggests that we are talking more about traditional news, as is generally accepted, and less about consumer-oriented information, as you were giving as an example.
There are also many programs in the Department of Canadian Heritage that subsidize periodicals or other forms of publication.
I think the interest here is in news, because it has never been subsidized by these other programs.
