Again, even if an online creator might make a lot of money with it, if it's not used as a substitute, or you don't find it on Spotify, it has nothing to do.

Minister, I'm sorry. I'm going to let you clarify once again.
How are you going to determine...? Which revenue threshold are you going to determine whether it's commercial content?

I think, Mr. Chair, you discussed the “talking over the witnesses” thing, yet you let it go on now a few times. There's been a chronic interrupting of the minister after the question is asked. He should be able to answer his questions.

We will try to have the comments be about the same length as questions, and we will try to keep the microphones on one at a time for the sake of the interpretation.
Go ahead, Mrs. Thomas.

I trust that the time was not taken off my clock.
Minister, you're very confusing to those who are watching. On one hand, you're saying revenue will be accounted for and taken into consideration along with two other criteria. On the other hand, you're saying, “No, no, revenue doesn't need to be considered.”
Can you please be clear? Is revenue going to be considered one of the criteria to determine whether or not content is covered by this bill?

I know it's one of the criteria, so what is that criterion? What's that number? What's that revenue threshold?

You've asked the same question probably eight times—the same one you filibustered last week. It's not going to get you anywhere. I answered your question.
