The Liberals have introduced a bill to support Canadian media outlets.

Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez says the legislation is designed to make digital giants like Google and Meta compensate the outlets for reusing their news content.

The law will set up a process for digital platforms to privately negotiate deals with newspapers, magazines, digital news groups and broadcasters that publish news online.

If the parties can't reach a deal, they would move to a mediation and arbitration process.
