I think the question is does Meta have any numbers to this effect? Their quote is literally: "In contrast, we know the people using our platforms don’t come to us for news."
Meta seems to want it both ways as they state elsewhere: "Though news article links make up less than 3% of what Canadians see in Feed, we estimate that we sent Canada News Page Index-registered publishers more than 1.9 billion clicks in the last 12 months ending in April 2022." So it's both a tiny part for Meta, but also a big part of the Canadian news ecosystem.
