New Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge says her “door is always open” for talks with big tech amid the fight over the Online News Act. However, she took a harder line when speaking with the Globe Mail afterward, saying her government was “going to keep standing our ground.”

The former sports minister told reporters outside Rideau Hall after the cabinet shuffle ceremony on July 26 that she would follow in her predecessor’s footsteps and remain open to discussions, but Canadian culture and media protection remains the focus.
