Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you for being here, Minister.
I agree with my fellow member. Just about everyone is concerned. When you talk about social cohesion, national social cohesion is important. Regional social cohesion is also very important. Small regional TV and radio stations and newspapers need help right now. They are suffering greatly. Many of them are literally dying. The proposed solution, potentially….
Bills C‑11 and C‑18 didn't deliver the results promised. Let's be clear. Under the agreement signed with Google, the company is required to contribute $100 million, to be distributed among all the news organizations. Of that, $7 million goes to CBC/Radio-Canada, on top of the $120 million you gave CBC/Radio-Canada in your last budget. Why is that $7 million still going to CBC/Radio-Canada?
