Thank you, Chair.
I like this amendment, because I think it's true that the minister really.... We're trying to make sure there's funding for local and small media organizations across the country, and I think it's clear that they want Facebook/Meta and Google to do that.
As I've said on multiple occasions, they're willing to give the money. We should just have them put it into a fund and have a council of small media organizations figure out how to divide that up to keep the best outcome. Then there's not the bureaucracy of this whole bill.
However, that said, I think if we put some kind of a definition in place so that it's clear that it's not like a bazillion digital news intermediaries that we want to be involved in all these negotiations for the CRTC to be managing, having a threshold will narrow it down to the ones we really want.
