Okay.
I'm not going to talk about securing funding sources for Canadian media, as that is vital for a diverse and vibrant media landscape.
I'll go right to our recommendations. I ask that the forum explore public funding mechanisms, innovative financing models and partnerships for public and private media; that the forum explore avenues to protect each community with the media workers and mediums they need so that their voices are heard and their stories are told; and that the forum examine possible avenues to uphold quality Canadian journalism, including media literacy, education and how to impose greater accountability on creators and distributors of information. The CMG further recommends that the forum examine how to best support aboriginal Canadians who wish to become media workers.
Thank you very much for this opportunity to speak to you and present you with our thoughts.
I'll leave you with one last thought that I think is very important. It's not just about the medium. It's about bringing a message to Canadians. When you make rules, laws or whatever decisions you might make, don't think about only television and radio. It's not about airwaves. It's about bringing a quality message to Canadians. The way that message is brought to Canadians will change, and right now, people are looking at different sources.
