Canadian Heritage committee  Yes, I would echo that. It's a challenge for everybody right now. We're seeing tremendous growth. We've mentioned YouTube, Facebook, Twitter. Migrating the audiences out of those spaces so that we can derive the advertising revenue on our native sites is certainly a challenge that I think we all share.

Canadian Heritage committee  I can follow up with a detailed answer on where we're at with that—

Canadian Heritage committee  —but we are in growth mode and remain a privately held company.

Canadian Heritage committee  We're fortunate that we have a series of different revenue streams, including joint ventures, several different partnerships, and currently we have tremendous investment as we grow. Revenues coming from advertising streams are just one of the ways that we move forward.

Canadian Heritage committee  I'm happy to answer. One of the interesting things with the lack of trust that has emerged in the last few days is that it was a Canadian digital outlet, BuzzFeed, who I want to give great credit to, who was tracking a lot of the falsehoods that were being spread and shared through social media throughout the campaign.

Canadian Heritage committee  It's a balance that we're increasingly trying to strike. At VICE we're committed to daily service journalism in the sense that we need to cover what happens across a 24-hour, seven-day period, but we are committed to and inspired by great organizations like The Globe and Mail. We are committed to carving out time to ensure that we have journalism that has impact.

Canadian Heritage committee  —while also balancing the needs of covering what's happening in the world on a day-to-day level.

Canadian Heritage committee  Good morning, Madam Chair and committee members. My name is Michael Gruzuk. I am the head of news and digital for VICE Canada. Thank you very much for including VICE as a witness here this morning. In my remarks today, I'll talk about how VICE does tell local stories and delivers them globally in a world of expanding consumer choice.
