Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here this morning.
We know that there is only a short period of time left before the elections. You mentioned the technical problems, the problems in complying with the Canada Elections Act.
In Canada, the reality is that we can put advertising on your platforms, but Canadian legislation limits election spending limits and the diversity of places where political parties and candidates can spend their money. This determines a certain market share, which you may have evaluated.
First, did you evaluate this market share?
Second, it may have been such a small amount of money, considering all the projects you are running simultaneously on your platform, that it was simply not worth complying with the act this year because of the amount it could bring you.
Has an evaluation been done internally by your managers? For example, to have an additional income of $1 million would have cost $5 million. It may not have been worth it to comply with the act for the 2019 election. Is that correct?
