Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Curran, we feel that Meta has a lot of power over the information that circulates in Canada and Quebec. The Internet is a medium that's evolving quickly, even from one day to the next.
I don't want to go back over another position that was stated in another committee, but we've noticed in recent months that Meta has blocked the publication of certain newspaper articles in particular. That's obviously not the best way to inform Canadians and Quebeckers about important situations that concern them.
There also seems to be a lot of false information circulating on Facebook and other social media as well. A lot of misinformation and disinformation are circulating on Facebook particularly. However, we don't sense that Meta is concerned about the situation. Instead we get the impression that Meta is trying to make a profit and that, if the profit isn't there, then it's too bad about information and democracy. I think that's quite a widespread opinion.
That may not be the case, however, and I'm giving you an opportunity to set the record straight, if necessary. If it is the case, however, please tell us honestly that your purpose is to make money and that democracy and information aren't your business. Is that the case? I'll let you answer the question.
