Thank you.
Welcome, Minister, from Montreal, and your officials. Thank you, one and all, for being here today.
It was interesting. I was listening to your conversation about moving money out of the platforms and into Canadian media, yet rural newspapers in this country are getting less and less money from your government. It wasn't long ago that John Hinds, who was the CEO of Newspapers Canada, had a blank page in the Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail and other papers in this country, complaining about this. They're in deep trouble because of Facebook, Google and so on. We had Kevin Chan, as you know, in committee saying that it's no problem, that they're actually aiding them instead of hampering them. Could I get your comments on that?
We deal with newspapers out west. Even during the COVID pandemic, the Winnipeg Free Press got only two ads from you talking about COVID-19. I fail to see where you're putting money into newspapers and local media.
