There is no core and stable funding for our sector. CBC receives what they do. That's great. There are tax services and supports for some of the commercial broadcasters. We know that those aren't working as well. Also, there is no advertising that really comes through from the federal side of things.
The bit of support and the programs that come through our sector right now are often tied to something very specific. The local journalism initiative is the non-profit and community media opportunity that Canadian Heritage offers to hire a journalist in a news desert to make an opportunity for them to report on it. That's available to print, TV and community radio. That's not a service that's available to the commercial broadcasters.
Some of the funds that we are hoping for—the same with the commercial broadcasters—are tied up in court cases that are still holding on from decisions that were made three years ago.
