Thank you so much, Chair.
The Governor in Council has the power to specify exemption thresholds. It already exists under paragraphs 84(c) and (d), and those will be used. Creating the exact same powers for the CRTC would create a conflict. The news landscape is constantly shifting. Setting specific thresholds for a constantly shifting sector, in my opinion, is not a good idea.
Once again, it's a little surprising to see. I know there's been concern expressed about the GIC having powers to regulate, which historically it always had. It's surprising to see the Conservatives wanting to trust the CRTC with regulation-making powers.
Thank you.
