I have a quick point on trust of information. I think it's pretty clear that trustworthy information that is known by a large number of citizens is critical to a democracy. We have to have some baseline of trustworthy information on which we are making democratic decisions about our collective well-being and governance. This is critical to a democracy, and that is being eroded by the system.
If we take that as our baseline, then I think we need to look at how we create more trust and more reliable information in the ecosystem we now have in our digital public sphere. Certainly advertising credibility is a part of it, ad transparency, but a big piece is the amount of journalism that is being produced in our society about our society and is holding power accountable within our society, and that is in steep and precipitous decline in Canada.
There are a host of other regulatory changes or points of governance engagement that could help make that more robust. There are easy things, such as changing the Income Tax Act to allow for charitable funding of news. In the U.S., the most robust sector in the journalism space, particularly the accountability journalism space, is non-profit news. This is almost non-existent in Canada because of our charitable funding law.
I think there is a whole host of things we could do, at the very least, to build up that backstop of reliable journalism in this space as well.
