Following weeks of productive discussions, I am happy to announce that we have found a path forward with Google for the implementation of the Online News Act, Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge said in a statement printed by Reuters. This will benefit the news sector and allow Google to continue to play an important role in giving Canadians access to reliable news content.
As outlined by the heritage minister, Google will negotiate with one group that represents the entire Canadian media ecosystem. This had been the tech giant's preference, rather than having to negotiate with individual outlets, which came with a higher liability risk, according to the CBC.
