Absolutely.
We used to talk about business models with different companies. I am a big believer in fairness, and I think that committee work should perhaps talk about fairness right off the bat or at some point. I think that's the problem, somewhat. We don't have subscription revenue either. We generalists offer our services free of charge. We have no subscription revenue. That was another big debate we had and lost in court. I think it went to the Supreme Court. We don't have subscription revenue. We don't have subsidies. So just being in a fair business model would already mean a lot for us.
With respect to the tax credit, as you know, the provincial government has just decided to expand it to allow electronic media to use it. I sincerely believe that the federal government should do the same thing, and right away. It wouldn't be hard to give us this tax credit that print media have been entitled to for a number of years. We face the same challenges and problems they do, and I dare add that we have the heavy burden of television news production, which is harder because we have to travel and we need equipment. We don't do our stuff in a TV studio; we go out in the field. It takes vehicles, it takes gas, it takes cameras. There's a huge burden on television journalism that doesn't exist for other media. That doesn't take anything away from what others do, but I think that element alone warrants us being eligible for programs like the journalism tax credit.
