Just on the back end, under “qualified Canadian journalism organization”, there are three definitions:
(v) it is primarily engaged in the production of original news content, which
(A) must be primarily focused on matters of general interest and reports of current events, including coverage of democratic institutions and processes, and
(B) must not be primarily focused on a particular topic such as industry-specific news, sports, recreation, arts, lifestyle or entertainment,
I'm trying to figure out who actually counts in there, because every single magazine or newspaper.... I still actually read some of these ones on paper. The “not” in proposed item 248(1)(a)(v)(B) covers pretty much everything I know out there. I know that Maclean’s can't get it anymore. I think they would have been the target of some of this, at least, because they receive cash from the aid to publishers. I looked it up online because it's posted, and they do. Actually, many of them are Rogers-based companies. A lot of those publications have either been shut down or sold off.
I'm just trying to figure out what organizations will actually qualify for this. Do you have any of those in mind? I understand that there's a panel and a prescribed body and all that other stuff, but who would qualify for it under these very strict criteria? It doesn't seem like it would be very many but just a small few.
