Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I want to clarify this. When somebody goes to the Google search engine and expects to see news when they put in a keyword search, they will not know that news isn't there. The idea that they can just go and find that news somewhere else when they're used to using Google, doing a keyword search and expecting that all the news related to that keyword would be there, yet you didn't disclose this testing to Canadians beforehand, as Mr. Waugh said, is completely contrary to what you're saying. You're saying that they can just go find the news somewhere else. People felt that they could rely on a product in the way they always had, and they were suddenly deprived of that.
I also want to put in context the fact that Google earned $279 billion in the last fiscal year. Google's CEO, Mr. Pichai earned approximately $280 million in compensation in 2019, mostly through stock awards. The entire amount paid to Australian news organizations in the first fiscal year after Australia passed a news bargaining code was $150 million. That's the context of the amounts that Google is so threatened by here.
Ms. Geremia, I'm going to come back. Who was the highest-ranking executive at Google who was aware of this testing before it occurred?
