Thank you, Madam Chair.
I just want to remind everybody why we're here today. Google has had ample opportunity, including before this committee, to talk about its views on Bill C-18.
Today, we're talking about a situation in which we have over 30 million Internet users in Canada, and Google has a dominant, 92% share of the search engine market. Google applied a test to block news from its search engine to approximately 4% of users, according to its public statements. That suggests that approximately 1.2 million Canadians were affected. That's why we're here today.
Ms. Geremia, my questions are for you. I would appreciate a yes-or-no answer unless I ask you to expand upon it.
As part of this scheme, did you use individual user data to block users from accessing news sources, yes or no?
