Indeed, Mr. Poisson. Thank you.
I now have some questions for you, Professor Sims. You are attending today's meeting by video conference, and it's 4:15 in the morning in Australia. Congratulations on looking so alert, and thank you for being here with us. Your testimony is invaluable.
I don't want to spend too much time on Ms. Gerson's speaking notes, but I feel obliged to say something when she claims that overcharging and placing too many constraints on platforms might lead them to lose interest and decide to purely and simply withdraw the content that they are currently publishing. In the same breath, Ms. Gerson said that this kind of legislation could in the end generate more money for the major news outlets at the expense of the smaller ones.
Professor Sims, you chaired the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. Based on your experience, do you agree with this argument?
