Thank you, MP Waugh.
The concept of a public broadcaster recognizes that in Canada, both at the federal level and in some provinces, there have been intentional policy decisions to create broadcasters with a public media mandate, a public interest mandate.
The position of the government is that they should be included to the extent that they are distributing news content. Certainly we've had the opportunity to speak to the provinces implicated. In some instances, those public broadcasters that I mentioned aren't really in the business of news, but to the extent that they are in the business of news, to the extent that they meet the eligibility criteria of clause 27—because you still have to meet the eligibility criteria of clause 27—they could be eligible.
