Thank you, Madam Chair.
I thank all of the witnesses for their enlightening statements.
My first questions are for the representatives of Télé Inter-Rives ltée.
I cannot disagree with what you have said. Indeed, independent broadcasters play an essential role in the local market offer and the provision of local news.
In your statement you mentioned that on June 15 the CRTC created the new Independent Local News Fund. I have a few questions about that. In your case, what did that achieve? I know that you benefited from that fund.
