I'll tag this to Cal's comment. One of our suggestions was to have the federal government commit to directing at least 25% of its advertising budget to trusted domestic news organizations.
While waiting to attend the hearing this morning, I was thinking. We operate 51 radio stations in Canada, and we're expected to play 35% Canadian content on our radio stations. It doesn't make sense. If that's expected of us, and if we've asked for only 25%, should we ask the government to spend at least 35% of its funds on Canadian media?
If it's fair for the goose, it should be fair for the gander.
