I wish we could MP Bardeesy. The reason we can't is the Online News Act, which prohibits us from sharing Canadian news content on Facebook and Instagram, unless we are willing to sign up to the compensation framework that the government has set out in the Online News Act.

I'm hopeful that we can resolve this with the government and can share Canadian news online again on our platforms. We are working towards that resolution.
