We are equally concerned about local news. In speaking with Canadians—I'm sure committee members hear about this often—we hear about the importance of local news: on-the-ground news when there are wildfires and other disasters. People are learning from local news and from radio about what's happening on the corner of their street and when they actually need to evacuate. We've heard this from people, so we are concerned about the state of local news.
As mentioned, in the base contribution decision, we decided that one area of immediate need was news. That is why we directed a certain portion of that initial base contribution to news. We've issued decisions recently, in June and August, for news, for TV as well as radio, and we can talk a bit about the support that we're bringing there.
