Thank you so much for being with us.
You know, it's always interesting to hear my Conservative colleagues speak with what appears to be disdain for the media, given that in 2014 they spent $20 million monitoring it. They talk about wanting to defund the CBC in their caucus, but I find it remarkable that they're even out of touch with their members. Their members voted down the motion to defund the CBC.
I want to put that on the record as we start. I think it's important to note that sometimes what you may hear from Conservative MPs may not actually reflect the will of Canadians or the facts.
Let's talk about the facts. Your “Myths and Facts” page seems to be the topic of a lot of conversation. Did you draft it, or did the minister's office draft it?
