Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'm sitting here smiling because Mr. Singer has no idea what Bill C-18 is all about. It's about the exact opposite of what he's talking about.
The CBC, Rogers and Bell get most of the money. The newspapers get the crumbs. We're not like the United States in this bill. We have pointed that out on this side numerous times. Small and medium newspapers get absolutely nothing.
I'm going to move to you, Mr. Palmer, because you have some recommendations.
I sit here laughing at Mr. Singer, because he has absolutely no idea what this bill is all about. It's not about the newspaper industry in this country. I've said that for months. They're getting crumbs. I believe the local CBC, the public broadcaster, should be excluded from this bill.
What are your thoughts, Mr. Palmer?
