Ask Rodriguez Anything: My Ten Questions for Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez on Bill C-18

Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez has scheduled a press conference for later today to answer questions on the legislative mess that is Bill C-18. There are no shortage of questions that require answering and I’ve identified my ten on Bill C-18 below. What analysis have you or your department done on the potential losses from Bill C-18 if Google and Meta exit the news market in Canada? What do you say to Canadian media outlets who may be forced to shut down due to your legislation? It does not appear that Bill C-18 contemplates AI as OpenAI and other AI services are excluded.
