Thank you, Mr. Eby.

I want to turn to the CRTC with two quick questions.

I was wondering about the impact the CRTC would have on small TV stations, if this bill were to pass. I ask in reference to the possibility of de-bundling, should this bill proceed.

Also, a number of years ago the CRTC removed the requirement of local over-the-air TV stations to carry local news. I'm wondering whether the CRTC would contemplate revisiting this decision in light of the possibility of de-bundling, if it were to go forward.

See context to find out what was said next.
