My speaking time is up, but I’d just like to take three seconds, with your permission, Madam Chair, to thank the people who were here today.
You, the witnesses, are fighting with increasingly limited resources to maintain regional news coverage, both in the weekly newspapers, represented here by you, Sylvain Poisson and Benoît Chartier, and in the other media outlets represented here in this room. I have the utmost admiration for you. Thank you for continuing to believe in this and fighting for it, because it is essential to democracy. I am very grateful to you.
