And with well over 3,000 homeless people living on the streets of Edmonton and only 1,126 shelter spaces, the result has the potential to cost lives among the city’s most vulnerable citizens.

(The Associated Press - image credit)Almost two-thirds of the $100 million Google must give to news outlets across the country each year will be distributed to print and digital media, with the remaining third split between CBC/Radio-Canada and other private and public broadcasters. Print and digital media will share the remaining 63 per cent of the fund. To be successful, media outlets must convince the regulator their negotiations are fair and also benefit other companies that qualify for funding. Media outlets receiving funding must also attest that they will not undermine freedom of expression or journalistic independence by interfering in an outlet's editorial process. News Media Canada, a group representing print and digital media in Canada, issued a statement welcoming the regulations.

CBC/Radio-Canada will get no more than a $7-million share of the annual fund, while another $30 million at most will be reserved for other broadcasters, according to final regulations released Friday that will implement the Online News Act. Independent news outlets and outlets from Indigenous and official language minority communities must also benefit from the fund, the regulations said. The reaction in Canada's news industry was mixed as the government rolled out its final regulations. Even before the Online News Act became law, Google was offering to pay news businesses $100 million annually. The only companies big enough to fall under criteria set out under the Online News Act are Google and Meta.

Nearly two-thirds of the $100 million Google must give to news outlets across the country each year will be distributed to print and digital media, with the remaining third being split between CBC/Radio-Canada and private broadcasters, CBC News has learned. Google's deal requires it to pay $100 million a year, indexed to inflation. Facebook escaped the need to strike its own deal by no longer sharing links to news pages. As part of the deal, Google provided assurances that Canadian news outlets will be treated fairly in comparison with deals it might strike with news media in other countries. Critics of the bill have said legacy media outlets that employ most of Canada's journalists will benefit most from the fund, while minority-language, community, Indigenous and independent news outlets could receive far less.

Online News Act funding capped for private broadcasters, CBC: report Dec 15, 2023 | 7:09 AMOTTAWA — The amount of funding private broadcasters will get through the government’s $100-million deal with Google will be limited — with an even lower cap for the CBC — a federal government source confirms. The source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss matters not yet made public, confirmed a report in the Globe and Mail on the final regulations for the Online News Act, which are being published today. Google agreed last month to contribute $100 million a year, fixed to inflation, to Canadian news publishers, in a deal that had the Liberal government bending to the tech giant’s demands after it threatened to remove news links from its search engine. As a result Google will be exempt from the legislation, which compels tech companies to enter into compensation agreements with news publishers for linking to their content, if it generates revenue for those digital giants.
