The CRTC granted Google a five-year exemption from the Online News Act's mandatory bargaining requirements after Google agreed to contribute C$100 million annually to the Canadian Journalism Collective (CJC) for distribution to eligible Canadian news businesses. Key conditions include annual admission of new eligible news businesses to the CJC, a 2% cap on indemnity claims, and notification of any agreement changes or breaches. Payment to the CJC was required within 60 days of the decision.
