I'm not entirely sure on the book. Obviously, I would say our trade obligations were certainly kept in mind, as we have crafted this legislation and made efforts to ensure, actually, that it's crafted in such a way as to be non-discriminatory. For example, Canadian online undertakings like Crave, for example, or Club illico would be expected to contribute, just like non-Canadian undertakings. We have certainly kept those considerations in mind.
In response to the committee's debate, the government is seeking to put in place a bill that has a high degree of ambition with respect to seeking contributions from these streaming services, but at the same time we have been mindful about the need to put in place a bill that, at the end of the day, can be operationalized as well. It has to work in practice. I would come back to the reference point with respect to a Canadian broadcaster that is established in Canada, has operations here, and inherently uses only Canadian resources with respect to its operations. It's a different reference point from a global company.
I certainly hear Mr. Champoux's concerns about making sure that we are being very ambitious with respect to the contributions we're seeing from those companies, but we do need to keep in mind that they are a very diverse group of services, potentially, ranging from Netflix to Disney+ to Amazon. The business models are different.
The goal was to ensure that the CRTC has the clear direction to seek from them, to the greatest extent possible, the kinds of contributions they can make to the system.
