Mr. Speaker, I can say to the minister, “stay tuned”, because my speech is coming up right afterward. I want to look very closely at section 4(2). I am sure the minister has heard, like I have, from digital first creators who are concerned about the exclusions, specifically the criteria about direct or indirect revenue. I would ask if he has heard from digital first creators and whether he takes their concerns to heart and would entertain amendments to exclude the exclusion from this bill.

Mr. Speaker, that is a very interesting and important question. As I said during my speech, we heard the concerns about social media, and we fixed it. We brought back section 4.1, with the exception of commercial content. The criteria for commercial content is really specified in the bill. There is a clear sandbox. It is very precise. It is about the revenues. It is about the fact that we can find the same content on, for example, YouTube or Spotify. It is about codes that could be encrypted in some of that content. I did meet with digital first creators and those were honestly fascinating conversations. Some of them were 18, 19, 20, 21 years old. They are all over the world. They do incredible things. I love it. However, it is not about them. It is about those streamers contributing to the Canadian culture. That is it.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for Trois-Rivières for his speech. Has he heard the same concerns that I have from creators who use online platforms, like TikTok and YouTube, to share their content with the world?

Mr. Speaker, we definitely need to ensure that our creators stop suffering. They have suffered unnecessarily because Parliament's work was interrupted for the sake of personal vanity. I think we should proceed quickly but stay vigilant.
