Hedy Fry at the Canadian Heritage Committee

I call the meeting back to order.

I'd like to make a few comments for the benefit of the witnesses in the room.

For those of you who need interpretation, you have the choice at the bottom of the screen of English or French. I would remind you that all comments should be made and addressed through the chair.

I now want to welcome our witnesses, and we will begin. Witnesses have five minutes to present, regardless of whether there are two of you, so each organization has five minutes to present. That will be followed by a round of questions and answers.

We have with us Dr. Irene Berkowitz, senior policy fellow at the audience lab of the creative school at Toronto Metropolitan University. We also have Mr. Alain Saulnier, author and retired professor of communication from the Université de Montréal.

We'll begin with Ms. Berkowitz for five minutes.

Thank you.
