OTTAWA (Reuters) -Canada and Google have reached a deal to keep news stories in search results and for the internet giant to pay C$100 million annually to news publishers in the country, the Canadian Heritage Minister said on Wednesday.

The deal resolves Alphabet-owned Google's concerns over Canada's online news law that aims to make large internet companies share advertising revenue with news publishers in the country.
