Thank you.
I'd like to speak to the part of the bill that deals with removing authoritarian state-controlled broadcasters from the public broadcasting airwaves in Canada. There is a problem with that section of the bill. It wasn't properly drafted. Amendments are coming, so I don't want to speak to the technical problems of that part of the bill. Rather, what I would like to hear from witnesses, if they have an opinion, is....
First, Russia Today was pulled from the airwaves here in Canada in 2022. It was pulled from the airwaves of many European democracies as well. CGTN remains on the airwaves here in Canada, but it has been removed from the public airwaves of a lot of other democracies.
Could any of you tell this committee which authoritarian state-controlled broadcasters have been removed from licensed broadcast airwaves in other democracies, whether it's the Iranian state-controlled broadcaster, the Russian one or the PRC one? Marcus Kolga, I think, mentioned something in his testimony, so I know he has an opinion on it. Maybe we'll start with him.
