The bill empowers the minister to make designation determinations. Does the bill give the minister the flexibility to carve out or mix and match certain services with different elements of the code? To put it another way, would it be possible for the minister to designate Google Search for the purposes of the minimum standards under the code and designate Google's News Showcase for the purposes of remuneration and arbitration under the code?
