Good morning, Madame Chair, and members of the committee.
Thank you for the opportunity to present our brief and to take questions on the issues that are so important to all Canadians.
My name is Ian Koenigsfest. I'm president of RTDNA Canada. Representing the association with me is Andy LeBlanc, past president and member of our executive committee.
In the next few minutes we'll tell you what the RTDNA is doing to strengthen journalism in this country with an updated code of ethics. We'll tell you about our national conference and awards program, and offer some recommendations that we think may make local news more sustainable in this country.
