This week, we began second reading debate of Bill C-18, which would compel Google & Facebook, the two largest websites, which capture 80 % of Canadian ad revenues, to underwrite operating costs of Canadian newsrooms. I spent 30 years as a journalist. I am passionate saving local news. But this? This is the wrong response. Watch and/or listen as I explain why. https://youtu.be/Sw44rJS2TTw #C18 #BillC18 #onlinenews #Google #Facebook #SenateofCanada #SenCa #cdnpoli #yeg #Edmonton #EdmontonJournal

Here, if you would rather read than watch, is the text of my speech on Bill C-18, and of the Q&A session which followed, in which my Senate colleagues and I discuss other strategies that might help to bolster the Canadian news industry. https://sencanada.ca/en/senators/simons-paula/interventions/598744/36#hID #SenateofCanada #SenCa #cdnpoli #BillC18 #C18 #Google #Facebook #Twitter
