I would say this: I know some people think this could be an infringement on freedom of the press or freedom of expression, trying to censor what people are listening to. In our experience, though, a lot of corrupt regimes use these state broadcasters for propaganda. RT is by far the best choice. We know state television, whether out of Beijing or Iran.... They're all propaganda machines.
If we are going to ensure that.... When we decide, as Parliament or the Government of Canada, that we're going to sanction the broadcaster itself, the state sponsor, or the kleptocrat or oligarch who owns it, it should be an immediate thing that happens. We cancel that licence so they can't continue to broadcast.
