Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I want to start by confirming the numbers that Mr. Scott gave us.

Mr. Scott, you said that over the last 15 years we've gotten to a point where an equivalent of $5 billion a year is leaving Canada because of the change in the system; 450 news businesses have shut their doors, and half of the reporter jobs have been eliminated. Is that correct?
