Thank you, Madam Chair. Welcome, everyone.
I just want to say off the top that I really appreciate CPAC and, Ms. Dickenson, your fact-based reporting. I am sorry that your two flagship public affairs shows are now gone.
You mentioned Mr. Fife, and that's kind of interesting because, as you know, I'm a longtime broadcaster, and we have talked about the opinion pieces, the journalists, the commentating and the objective reporting. All Mr. Fife has done for the last year is go on these shows—CTV, CBC—ridicule my leader, Pierre Poilievre, call him names and talk about our party and how many people are moving. It's totally garbage on the air. This is where I think the public has just said, “Enough: I no longer want to watch these public affairs shows with statements like that.”
I turned to The Globe and Mail the next day, and guess what: Mr. Fife has the PM giving him the lead story on the front page of Canada's national newspaper. You can see the objection from me, with 40-plus years of journalism, after seeing him ridiculing the Conservative leader and our party in the afternoon and then seeing him the next morning spewing what the Prime Minister is going to do that day.
Do you find that interesting?
