on June 22, 2023. This bill “aims to enhance fairness in the economic
relationship between news businesses and online platforms by enhancing the
bargaining position of news businesses relative to that of large and
dominant digital news intermediaries.” The legislation, which comes into
effect in December 2023, will require tech giants Meta and Google to make
agreements with news publishers to compensate them for revenue-generating
news content that appears on their sites. In response, both tech companies
have removed links from Canadian news sites from their platforms. This
panel discussed the potential implications of this legislation for
journalists, news outlets, news consumers and Canadian democracy.
