No, I don't believe it does. We are of the opinion that the bill is written in such a way that the opportunities for Indigenous communities are at a lower level than the opportunities given to local media. In our view, it's very important that we be considered in the same way, that we be considered journalism and media sources as equally important as local media.
In terms of the business model and sustainability, for example, those are not mentioned for Indigenous organizations, but they are for local media organizations.
In our opinion, the bill should put us on the same level, and should even give us the opportunity to have access to certain negotiations. I don't know of any Indigenous publications right now that are part of the 130 or so agreements reached to date with Google and Meta. In my view, the bill does nothing at all to address this imbalance.
