I think we see exactly what the problem is with this proposal. When members of the government hear things, uncomfortable questions, they try to shut them down. The last thing we need is to give government the ability, through some body, to determine which is or isn't a qualified journalism organization. If this happens, we will see government officials saying, “I'm sorry, I'm not sure you're making a relevant point here. Maybe you ought not to be considered a qualifying journalism organization.”
I want to thank my Liberal member for making my point for me.
