Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We're going to continue our discussion on the digital giants, Mr. Bridgman.
One of the first decisions of the Carney government was to drop the digital services tax on web giants. We would have thought that the money raised could have better supported our local media, our community media and our community television stations that connect communities and deliver local news. Our local media can also be at odds with what is conveyed on social media.
In your opinion, is this a failure? The Carney government revoked the act thinking it would appease the U.S. government, but that didn't happen.
Currently, do you think we should rethink this tax measure to redistribute the money to our local media and strengthen local and regional news?
