Just to add to that, I think there's a real danger in presenting the Internet and the diversity of voices that it allows as something that is to be overcome.
If you look at the media environment right now.... At the Department of Innovation, Science, and Technology, we study a lot of disruptive technologies and their impacts on existing marketplaces. I think what's happening in newspapers is not different from what happened in the music industry in the late 1990s, when all of a sudden they had challenges selling CDs and a new distribution model appeared, or from what's happening in the taxi industry right now, for example, with Uber and the challenge it's presenting to an existing model.
On the side of the Internet, we're obviously extraordinarily pro Internet at the Department of Innovation, Science, and Technology. Our view is that it has a real capacity and a real ability to create the diversity of voices. For example, there were some questions around whether existing programs are sufficient to create diversity of voices.
I would say, look at the Internet. Without government subsidies and without a regulatory type of environment, in fact, the freedom it allows has created a huge amount of diversity of voices. We have all kinds of new media services that are available now. As well, it has really reduced the cost of entry to a lot of these industries. In a local media source, if a market player is displaced or if you have concentration in traditional media, it's probably easier than ever before for a new business to get started and for new voices to occupy that space. I think there's a lot to be really excited about, not just looked at as a challenge to an existing industry, which clearly is facing that challenge and trying to find ways to compete in a digital marketplace.
I think the new entrants are really exciting and should have a place in the study of the committee going forward. I just wanted to give that kind of appeal for innovation and competition.
