I will just pick up on arts, because it's an example. Is an arts publication that reports on Canadian museums and doesn't have any direct news content not good enough for these measures? It has to be news reporting. You already exclude those in the next part, so that's what we're being asked to approve here: “to promote the interests, or report on the activities, of an organization, association or their members”, which I take to mean something like the CPA. The accountants have their own kind of magazine that they send out, so they produce original content. This means to exclude those types of publications, advocacy pieces on behalf of professional associations that would be excluded, and the Mortgage Professionals Canada would be excluded.
Why would you exclude from this something like a publication that focuses on Canadian arts? I'm trying to understand the purpose of this. What if I cover arts news, and that's the only thing I'm covering? This seems to say it's only for current events coverage of democratic institutions, like covering politics and politicians.
