Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to follow up on Monsieur Trudel's comments about the exclusion about TV. I'll direct my questions to Mr. Palmer, Mr. Denton and Ms. Roy.
We had testimony last week where OUTtv was excluded from a number of streaming platforms, which were basically saying they weren't interested in LGBT content and won't put that content on their platforms. We've had some proponents—people who are opposed to C-11—saying that they don't want gatekeepers for the streaming services, but it seems to me that this is a key example of big companies acting as gatekeepers in an exclusionary and discriminatory way.
I wanted to get comments from each one of you about this exclusion. For OUTtv, the company was basically saying that they're not going to have that content, without explanation. It could be indigenous peoples or it could be racialized people. There is a whole range of content right now that companies basically can choose, as they did with OUTtv, to exclude. There's no regulatory oversight.
Mr. Trudel testified that C-11 has an advantage of bringing to bear some regulatory framework.
I'm going to start with you, Mr. Palmer. How do you feel about that exclusion? Do you feel that companies are acting as gatekeepers? Would you admit that in this case it's very clear that their acting in that way?
