Thank you, Madam Chair.
My question is for you, Professor Lindgren. We talk about the importance of this sector, the importance of journalism and the importance of being able to have conversations about independent media and journalism in this country. Yesterday, Canadians witnessed an attack by the Leader of the Conservative Party, Pierre Poilievre, in which he discredited a journalist. He attacked the journalist. He used all manner of tactics to evade and avoid answering a simple question by attacking the integrity of a journalist.
As somebody who teaches journalism, what message do you think that sends to young people who want to enter the sector of journalism? What message does it send to those who believe in a free press in this country?
