Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Dr. Picard, for your succinct presentation, but also for the written presentation you provided the committee ahead of time.
I think it's worth noting for the record that we've just heard from The Tyee, out of British Columbia. They have already put their presentation as the headline on their website, thetyee.ca. They've reacted immediately to ongoing events. I think that actually says quite a bit.
You have studied in Scandinavia and in France, not just in Paris but specifically in the regions. It's good that you're here. You speak directly about the Canadian experience in your presentation. I'm always anxious to start talking about solutions, because I think that the problems themselves have been fairly well described by others. This seems to be something that you could speak to quite well.
When we talk about other jurisdictions, can you tell us what some of the more interesting and, most important, effective solutions are that you've seen when it comes to supporting local news by state, regional, or national governments?
