Madam Speaker, I am sure that the member, had he been listening to my speech, would have known that at the beginning I said that I appreciated that the bill actually does say that the algorithms are protected. I did say that in my speech. Specifically, since the member spent a bit of his speech discussing my speech, which was very flattering, I will read what the bill actually says: In making regulations under subsection (1), the Commission shall consider the following matters: (a) the extent to which a program, uploaded to an online undertaking that provides a social media service, directly or indirectly generates revenues. In (b) and (c), the bill does not say “and/or”. It does not say any of that. It lists three different things. Any one of those things, individually, can be regulated according to the act.
