Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thanks to all of you for being here. Last week, we had three Andrews. This time, we have two Scotts. We appreciate all of you individually.
I'll get right into it. Bill C-11 is the by-product of a reality that I trust everyone in this room agrees on. The old rules won't work in the new reality we all live in. The Broadcasting Act hadn't been updated since 1991, before streaming, smart phones or YouTube even existed, and if that doesn't reinforce my point, it was before I was born. For decades, Canadian broadcasters carried obligations to invest in Canadian stories, while global platforms held no such responsibility.
I have primarily two questions, also bearing in mind and maybe denoting this committee's upcoming study on AI. Could you speak to the timeliness of this important piece of legislation and how the CRTC is making sure this modernization reflects today's digital reality and will reflect tomorrow's inevitable reality?
