Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I want to thank all our panellists for being here today. It is much appreciated.
I will direct my question to Professor Trudel.
Much of the debate on Bill C-11 has muddled a very important distinction. The Internet does not simply equate to social media platforms, and platforms don't equate to the whole of the Internet. Social media platforms are headed by companies that are making tutorial, algorithmic, data-led business choices every day in running these platforms, and that has a direct impact on creators on these platforms and the users themselves.
Can you speak on this distinction and on why it's important that we study Bill C-11's regulatory obligations for these companies?
