It recognizes that, in a free and democratic society like Canada, we want to ensure the independence of the media and ensure that they have their journalistic independence.
In a situation where you have a regulator that needs to oversee the licensing and conditions of service that are placed on those media, to the extent that a government wants to weigh in on those, it's important that it be done in a way that respects their independence to ultimately make the final decision and provide transparency to Canadians so Canadians understand how a particular government, whether it's the federal government or a provincial or territorial government, is engaging with the CRTC.
That's why, in this case, they're all very formalized processes to ensure there's not a perception of politicization of the CRTC.
