Chair and members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to appear here today. My name is Sheila Gunn Reid. I am the president of the Independent Press Gallery of Canada, and I'm also the editor-in-chief of Rebel News.
The Independent Press Gallery supports independent journalists across the country with legal training, mentorship for young journalists and security resources, as working conditions for journalists in Canada become increasingly hostile.
In Canada today, if you don’t take the money or join the club, you get shut out, or worse.
