Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ms. Charette, I'd like to continue our discussion on the quality of journalism and the ways to ensure that eligible news organizations are serious organizations.
We've received some suggestions for amendments. Google, for instance, would like us to delete clause 51 of the bill, that seeks to prohibit so-called undue preference. According to Google, this provision will prevent its platforms and others from applying policies and offering functionalities that elevate reliable sources of information over those of lesser quality. When you read between the lines a little, what that means is that we're to rely on Google to judge which content is reliable and which isn't.
As a federation representing a large number of journalists and newsrooms, what do you think of this proposal and this statement?
