Both Meta and Google have said they would remove Canadian news from their platforms to avoid having to compensate the news outlets.

Of course, we would have to put serious limiters on government input on the sites to make sure that we keep free speech. I don’t even mean that in the sense of “I want to say hateful things!” but in the sense that I don’t want heavy restrictions on the news that I see, especially not by any one political group. (Looking at you, elections time).

You could set up a crown corporation similar to the CBC where it's given a mandate to do the things you want but has some amount of separation from government control, outside of funding.
