Thank you very much, Chair.
Good morning, everyone. I really appreciate the opportunity to be able to join this committee for a little bit.
I know that there has been conversation about reliable, high-quality journalism. As we see the new age of social media, what worries me, especially with a lot of our seniors...and it's not because my dad sends me WhatsApp news videos, or what he considers news videos, and I then have to call him about and say, “Dad, that's not real. That's not true.” It also happens in my community. I hear about it. A lot of folks, especially seniors, and of course our youth as well, who are exposed to this end up in situations where they're exposed to fake news or misinformation. It's not really trustworthy.
I know that there have been some steps. Could you elaborate on some of the steps that have been taken to strengthen public trust in Canadian news and to really combat the misinformation going on in these kinds of outlets?
