In a word, in the cultural or media industries, we note that all sectors have been assisted, with two exceptions. They are private radio—with public radio funded by the state—and the print media. We note that the per capita assistance to the print media is $3 in Quebec and less than $2 in Canada. In the United States, it is double, which is no small thing because that is the non-interventionist country par excellence. The countries with the most assistance provide up to $80 per capita. We are not asking to get to the Scandinavian level overnight, but we feel that Quebec City and Ottawa must do more to support the media that are essential for the vitality of our democracy.
Thank you.
