That's great.
By way of background, Quebecor is definitely the largest journalism employer in Quebec, if we don't include Radio-Canada. Quebecor estimates that it would amount to roughly $3 million a year. Let's assume, then, that it's $3 million for Quebecor. If I do the math, taking into account all TV and radio newsrooms across Canada, I find the minister's estimate surprising.
I would very much appreciate it if you could provide us with the numbers. Perhaps you could work with the Department of Finance, if it would help you get back to us with more exact numbers. We'll wait for you to get back to us with that information.
I want to ask you something about Google's annual payment of $100 million. I think everyone welcomed that announcement. We found out that Google was choosing the organization that would distribute the money. That may have been an aspect that went undetected. I'm not sure we anticipated that Google would choose who was going to distribute the funds.
Has the feedback been positive thus far? Are you satisfied? Is Google's annual $100‑million contribution being distributed properly?
