My problem is that I don't think it's a good first step. I think it's a bad first step, and it will be a fatal first step for a lot of journalistic organizations and news organizations. That's my concern about this.
The American model that is being suggested is to bring together a coalition of everybody who's in the news business. Bill C-18 doesn't do that. It allows for a partition between big players and small players. There's nothing that forces them into a collective. Without that, you're going to get a lot of losers and very few winners.
