What The Tangled Garden argues is that news generally, including local news, should be put on the same footing as drama, comedy or kids shows. It should get the same level of financial support that we provide to those kinds of shows. This would be an enormous shot in the arm for local news—and indeed for national news.
All the news organizations in the country are struggling. You know very well what's happening with the newspapers. The newspapers are on the point of collapse. The only reason we continue to have local television news—and actually, more Canadians get their news from television than they do from newspapers, overwhelmingly—is that the big organizations, whether CTV or Global, have been subsidizing the losses they take in local news.
If you were to say, “No, no, no, let's treat news the same way we treat comedy”, in terms of the subsidy structures by way of the Canada Media Fund and the tax credits, that would dramatically improve the situation and make it dramatically easier for people to continue to maintain local news.
