Thank you, Madam Chair.
Dr. Geist, my father started a weekly newspaper. He was the owner-journalist. He would never have qualified for this.
Many weekly papers have told me that the fed advertising money is all gone to the foreigns. Our taxpayers' money is going to the foreign big guys. If they said they'd give it back to us, we'd be fine.
Yesterday, $40 million more was given to the CBC, which already gets $1.2 billion. None of that will go to the weekly newspapers in my ridings.
You talked about a lot of things, possibly. You didn't get a chance to talk about the copyright. That's a huge issue that we've kicked around in a number of committees here on the Hill.
Would you like to get into that one?
