I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 32 of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage.
Before we begin, I would ask all in-person participants to kindly read the guidelines written on these updated cards on the table in front of you. These measures are in place to help prevent feedback incidents and to protect the health and safety of all participants, including our interpreters. You will also notice a QR code on the card. It links to a short awareness video.
Pursuant to the routine motion adopted by the committee, I can confirm that the witnesses have completed the required connection tests in advance of this meeting.
Please wait until I recognize you by name before you speak. All comments should be addressed through the chair.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Monday, September 22, 2025, the committee is meeting to study the state of the journalism and media sectors.
