The organization administering the $100 million Google agreed to pay Canadian news outlets in exchange for an exemption from the Online News Act says the payments will begin later than first expected.

The Canadian Journalism Collective says work is underway to assess applicants and that news businesses should expect to find out if they are eligible between mid-February and mid-March.
