Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here. The variety of opinions is appreciated.
Mr. Menzies, you talked about the deal that was made. You've also written about it. If there were 15,000 possible journalists and that could break down to 6,000, I think the comment about pigeons fighting for crumbs would show up somewhere. I'm from a constituency of weekly newspapers, a dozen plus, and from speaking to them last night, it was clear they don't believe there will be anything at the table for them. What would your response be to our rural newspapers, or, as I call them, the “authentic” newspapers, because they're community-based?
