No, it was not, Madam Chair. This is something that has been raised by Cactus, by community radio and by RQ, and that is the issue of community broadcasting. Basically, it would ensure that programming provided by the community element should be innovative and complementary, catering to tastes and interests not adequately provided for by the programming provided for mass audiences; reflect Canada's communities, regions, indigenous and multicultural nature; support new and emerging Canadian creative talent through community participation; strengthen the democratic process and support countering disinformation, and be available throughout Canada so that Canadians can engage in dialogue on matters of public concern.
We heard from a number of witnesses in this regard.
I move that amendment.
