Madam Speaker, I thank my friend for Thornhill. I have enjoyed our time together on the transport committee, and I listened carefully to her speech. Near the beginning, she indicated that she supports the premise that we should be requiring these platforms and these broadcasters to reinvest in Canadian content creation, that we should level the playing field and that this is a worthy goal. Later, she said she does not believe that regulation can actually result in better or more Canadian content creation, yet we have had regulations in the country that for decades have required organizations and companies to pay into a fund that reinvests in Canadian content creation. Does she feel that those decades of regulatory policy have been all for naught and that we should have avoided that path altogether as a country?
