Yes, but Rebel News, through its boss, did say it on X. I am just raising the point. You yourself have spoken about the diversity of voices, the rigours of journalism and so on. So I thought it important to emphasize that what happened this morning was a technical problem. The Bloc Québécois did not try to stop the proceedings. On the contrary, we tried to fix a problem so that everyone could provide their comments correctly in both official languages. The result is that those who take an interest in the topic can follow our debates and hear what each of you has to say, as the frequently disparate voices that represent journalism today. I just wanted to make that point.
I would also like to welcome all the witnesses and to thank them for being here. We on this committee find the study to be very important.
My first question goes to my friends the independent journalists.
Ms. Villalba, Mr. Lamoureux, in today's journalistic landscape, is it difficult to be viewed as a credible journalist when you are an independent one? Given the large and growing numbers—I say that with no negative sense at all—of new, independent journalists using new platforms for their journalism, is it difficult to be viewed as credible?
