Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you for the question, Mrs. Thomas. The bill is intended to require bargaining with news businesses that operate in Canada. If you look at clause 27 and the eligibility criteria, for example, a “qualified Canadian journalism organization” under the Income Tax Act must be operated and controlled by Canadians. Then, with respect to paragraph 27(1)(b), you'll note the reference to “operates in Canada”.
Your amendment is consistent with the intention of the act that, again, in order to benefit, a news business has to operate here in Canada.
