Thank you very much.

I will be asking questions about Bill C-18. I'm not sure who is the best suited to answer them.

I want to delve into whether this is actually living up to its stated purpose, which was to provide something of a lifeline to media in this country. Who is paying into the pot, so to speak? Who is actually funding this project so far?

See context to find out what was said next.
