Mr. Burman, representatives of francophone communities outside Quebec that we have met with, complained about a shortage of journalists in their communities, and a lack of adequate and unbiased news coverage. It would seem there are few journalists willing to go to the regions.
I would like to know whether you have made any effort to ensure adequate news coverage? Are there incentives? Do you provide courses and information to journalists with respect to dealing with information on aboriginal or francophone communities outside Quebec? Do they get specific treatment?
