I can speak directly to the Liberal Party of Canada. I mentioned in my opening statement that our reporters were denied accreditation at the most recent convention. They were subjected to doing walk and talks outside the venue. However, that's not the only way that we're shut out of being able to hold politicians to account on behalf of the public in this country.
Press galleries, including here in Ottawa and in legislatures across the country, keep our members from joining. Alberta is a specific exemption to that sort of practice. Even though the Alberta legislature press gallery voted to keep Rebel News journalists out, we were able to be accredited through the Speaker's office, because the Alberta government has a commitment to engaging with journalists across the political spectrum.
It is bizarre that a cabal of your competitors can get together after receiving government subsidies to protect their exclusive access to politicians. That's not how journalism is supposed to work.
