They're willing to lobby against the bill privately, but not willing to come to the committee to speak publicly.
Google has sent documents to the committee, which we've recently received. My understanding is that all of the documents Google provided to the committee are publicly available documents on Google's website. Google was asked to provide:
all internal or external communications (including but not limited to emails, texts or other forms of messages) related to actions it planned to take or options it considered in relation to Canada’s Bill C-18, including but not limited to those in relation to the testing of the blocking of news sites in Canada;
and
the list of all news organizations blocked by Google, in Canada
It seems we got none of that information, but rather were thrown a bunch of publicly available information.
Ms. Geremia, did you ever write any email or send any text that related to your plans related to Bill C-18?
