I gather the royalty you're referring to is the 3% tax on digital services. Yes, we are hoping to get a bit of the money from the tax that Facebook, Google and similar digital media services will have to pay. However, what we are most looking forward to, Mr. Ste-Marie, is tough legislation to counter the effects of Facebook and Google. That goes to the heart of the problem. The only way to slay the monster immediately is to aim for the head. Recognizing that is imperative.
We all saw the controversy that broke out in Australia. Facebook had no qualms about removing all links to government websites and major Australian news media from its platform. That shows how Facebook and Google react when they are backed into a corner.
