Thank you very much.
I read through the brief and listened to your presentation. I guess I'm struck by a couple of contradictions, which appear in your print pages and in your printed words that have been presented here to committee.
Your news organizations is one of the fiercest critics of government advertising. The phrase that caught my attention, when reviewing some of the things that have been published in your newsprint, was the following:
That's right: $21.1 million, piddled away on catchy jingles. Think about the cancer drugs that would pay for. Think about little Madi, bravely fighting for her life—and the government won't pay for her meds. It makes me weep.
There has has been no fiercer critic of subsidies to the media than the Toronto Sun and the National Post. How do you square your editorial position with your corporate position?
