5. (1) Section 19 of the Income Tax Act is amended by adding the following after subsection (7):

Non-Canadian newspaper or periodical

(8) Where at any time one or more persons or partnerships that are not described in any of paragraphs (a) to (e) of the definition ``Canadian newspaper or periodical'' in subsection (5) have any direct or indirect influence that, if exercised, would result in control in fact of a person or partnership that holds a right to produce or publish issues of a newspaper or periodical, the newspaper or periodical is deemed not to be a Canadian newspaper or periodical at that time.

(2) Subsection (1) applies after the day this Act is assented to, except that it does not apply to a newspaper or periodical where the influence that would result in control in fact of a person or partnership that holds the right to produce or publish the newspaper or periodical arose as a consequence of a transaction or series of transactions that was completed before April 1993.
