Thank you.
Very briefly, allow me to quote a statement by the chairperson and chief executive officer of the CRTC from March of last year, when Russia Today and Russia Today France were scrapped. Mr. Ian Scott said the following:
Freedom of speech and a range of perspectives are a necessary part of our democracy. However, it is a privilege and not a right to be broadcast in Canada. Foreign channels can be removed from the authorized list should their programming not be consistent with the standards to which Canadian services are held, or their continued distribution no longer serves the public interest, as was the case for [Russia Today] and [Russia Today] France.
I think that statement pretty much echoes yours, Mr. Genuis.
Thank you.
