Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to focus on one of the purposes of the bill concerning the Broadcasting Act.
The government effectively took RT off the airwaves in Canada in 2022 through a cabinet directive issued under section 15 of the Broadcasting Act. The CGTN continues to operate. In the United Kingdom, in 2021, Ofcom—their CRTC—pulled CGTN off the airwaves because it concluded that the CGTN's broadcast editorial direction was coming from the Chinese Communist Party and the authoritarian state of the PRC.
Can you tell us what other democracies have pulled either RT or CGTN off their airwaves and the method by which they did that?
