I can start.
This is ongoing thinking, but I've already mentioned this idea that—as was mentioned in the panel review for heritage—if we were to treat social platforms as broadcasters and wanted to regulate their content, for instance, and make them liable for what they publish online, whether it's from news operations or others, then the question is whether that would be challenged by those companies through CUSMA and article 19.17. We would have to see. Of course it would have to be a dispute that would be launched by the U.S. government. There is no investor state in this case; it would not be the companies themselves. In that case, if there was a dispute, then a panel would be set up and would have to decide on these things. It's very difficult at this point to know where that panel would decide.
If it were to rule in favour of Facebook or those kinds of social platforms, it would immediately undermine what Canada would be doing. To me, that's problematic in a way. Are we potentially constraining ourselves when it comes to that?
We talked about privacy of individuals. Down the line, if we wanted to impose more data localizations, for instance, both at the federal level or even at the provincial.... The Quebec government is talking about moving in that direction. What happens if, for example, Quebec says that it wants to do more data localization—not for government purposes, but for private business? Then U.S.-based companies come and say that they think this goes against the agreement that allows free data flow between our two countries. If we were to challenge this and if a panel was set up and they found, for instance, that those regulations or laws can't apply to U.S. companies, then what happens? It creates an even bigger problem. Quebec could continue doing so, but the federal government would have to pay some form of compensation.
