Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez says Bill C-18 will 'enhance fairness' for news organizationsHeritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez prepares to appear before a Senate committee in Ottawa, on Nov. 22. He says Bill C-18, which MPs passed Wednesday, will 'enhance fairness' in the digital news marketplace.
Companies could be exempt from the negotiation process set out in the proposed legislation, known as Bill C-18, if they already have agreements with media outlets that fulfil certain criteria.Last week, the heritage committee sent the bill back to the House with 18 amendments to add clarity on Indigenous news, eligibility requirements, clearer timelines for the negotiation process and transparency.
The same section was changed to make sure that the companies have agreements with a "range of news outlets in both the non-profit and for-profit sectors," and that reflect "all markets and diverse populations, including local and regional markets in every province and territory, anglophone and francophone communities, including official language minority communities, and Black and other racialized communities.
It included to the bill's definition of "eligible news business" a requirement for the outlet to be a member of a recognized journalism association and to follow its code of ethics or have its own code that requires "adherence to the recognized processes and principles of the journalism profession, including fairness, independence and rigour in reporting news and handling sources.
Conservatives have argued that the bill would give regulators too much leeway to make decisions about what is and isn't real journalism.DurationFacebook's parent Meta Platforms Inc. is laying off about 13 per cent of its workforce, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced.
