I also want to make reference to the fact that for a lot of the media companies here, and the one that you just referenced, for example, it's not just news that they do. It's also content creation. Outside of the programs that we've been talking about today, there are other programs with that type of content creation, whether it's television programs or whatever, that are able to touch into resources like CMF, the Canada Media Fund.
My organization creates similar types of content that get distributed on platforms like YouTube, for example, or on digital platforms like TikTok, and we don't have any access to CMF funding because we don't get a broadcast letter from any of the broadcasters. However, we pour extensive resources into creating this content. It's watched by hundreds of thousands of Canadians every single week, and we do so without the advantages that some of our bigger competitors are able to tap into.
As we're talking about this, I want to also mention that we're looking not just at the few programs that we've been talking about—the tax credits, LJI, the Google money—but there are other public funds that taxpayers are pouring into that digital start-ups are still not able to tap into. We still have to talk about the gates that are still being closed on digital start-ups in this country.
