Thank you.
I will be following up on the question on media deserts, I hope, in my next round.
I want to go to a question for the Canadian Media Guild on journalists and media workers who have lost their jobs.
We know, of course, that the Canadian Media Guild represents 6,000 workers in the Canadian media, and with the recent layoffs announced by both the CBC and Bell, your work couldn't be more vital.
When Catherine Tait, the CEO and president of CBC, visited our committee recently, she mentioned how the across-the-board 3% cuts directly contributed to the job cuts the CBC has been implementing. If the announced job cuts go through as proposed, there will be fewer people working for the CBC than even in the darkest days of the Stephen Harper government.
What role do you believe cuts to the CBC by the Liberal government have played in the loss of jobs for journalists?
