The worst thing I could do would be to guarantee a result, as much as I would love to hold out hope. I have plenty of hope, but I'm not going to guarantee anything. What I can guarantee is that I will work on it.
I, too, talk to people involved in newspapers and media rooms, particularly about the replenishment of the Canada periodical fund and the Canada media fund. We've already replenished them a number of times using taxpayers' money because these media companies are seeing their revenues decline precisely because of the GAFAM phenomenon you highlighted. Of course, the digital giants must do their part, and we're asking them to do so.
It's unfortunate that it's dragging on, and I'm working on it, but I can't guarantee anything, once again. We'll have to find interim solutions, especially because the court rulings bode well. We'll need to have a serious conversation with these organizations, which sometimes benefit from tax credits and all kinds of support from the Government of Canada and then drag us into court. It's very unfortunate.
As you know, in your riding, L'Express de Drummondville received $400,000 to do local journalism. Such outlets should not be closing, but they, like other small journalism businesses, are facing new challenges in this media age.
