Thank you very much.
Actually, I have also been a staunch defender of our public broadcaster, CBC/Radio-Canada. All democratic countries have strong public institutions to ensure high-quality journalism all across the country. I also defend it to ensure that our public broadcaster supports our producers, creators and artists. We want it to showcase Canadian stories by and for Canadians, and we want people to discover them.
Unfortunately, like all media, our public broadcaster is facing the media crisis, and its revenues are currently affected by the situation. Let's not forget the constant attacks by the Conservatives on our public broadcaster, which unfortunately has to defend itself. I'm very proud that, as soon as we came to power in 2015, our government restored to the public broadcaster the funding that had been cut by the Harper government.
We need to have a discussion about the future of CBC/Radio-Canada because the media crisis has had a profound impact on everything. We must ensure that our public broadcaster continues to fulfill its mandate and represent media in both official languages across the country, in addition to eight indigenous languages.
