Good morning, friends. I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 33 of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage.
Before we begin, I would ask all in-person participants to read the guidelines written on the updated cards on the table in front of you. These are measures in place to help prevent feedback incidents and to protect the health and safety of all participants, especially our interpreters. You'll notice that there's a QR code on the card, which 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. I think we have some witnesses online today, although I don't see them yet.
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.
Before we begin, let me wish you a happy birthday, Mr. Généreux.
Mr. Champoux, the floor is yours.
