Thank you, Mr. Greenspon.
I was going to mention Andrew Coyne as well. It's almost as if he could be a member of the committee, which would probably make it even more interesting than it already is.
He speaks to this, and as you said, you've had this debate for some 20 to 30 years. Anybody who was in the field of journalism or who respects good journalism is always going to be reticent to see any sort of government involvement, although we'd be kidding ourselves to say that there's obviously not some now.
You stated very clearly in the report that journalism must be independent from government, which means that whenever we talk about tax credits or financial support of any kind, we have to be so careful about it. I mean, as you said, any bona fide news organization can apply for the fund, but then it comes down to how we determine what a bona fide news organization is. We heard from hither and yon, from all sizes, shapes, and colours of news organizations, or at least organizations that argue that they are news organizations, and the classification becomes very difficult.
If government does take a more active role, as you seem to be recommending, how do we make sure we protect journalistic independence? Surely—and I come back to this fairly frequently on this committee, and so I apologize to my colleagues—we are not the only functioning democracy to be dealing with this right now. As you were exploring the issue, did you find any other examples in other countries of how they may be succeeding at this in varying degrees?
