Canadian Heritage committee  What are the consequences if—

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes.

Canadian Heritage committee  Do you think that's not true?

Canadian Heritage committee  Madam Chair, I do not believe that this is the topic of this committee's discussion. We are not here to help—

Canadian Heritage committee  I don't really feel like it's appropriate, Madam Chair, to have a conversation about my views on bilingualism. That does not strike me as the topic of conversation this afternoon.

Canadian Heritage committee  I do not believe that it is the role of the government to impress French content upon Canadians if they don't want it.

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes, that's a good observation. I must say that listening to the other witnesses and hearing their testimony, it really makes me wish that we could just erect this big wall between old media and new media. I, as a new media creator, do not want to live in the world of old media.

Canadian Heritage committee  It seems to me that the agenda here is to try to make Canadian content creators produce a certain kind of content for Canadian domestic consumption entirely. If I understand the agenda that's being articulated here, it's that the goal of the government, Parliament, is to create m

Canadian Heritage committee  Hello, friends. My name is J.J. McCullough and I am a professional YouTuber from New Westminster, B.C. Today I hope to teach the committee about Canada's vast YouTuber community and why so many of us fear Bill C-11, a bill we did not ask for and do not need, and one that threate
