RT and Sputnik are two of the state-owned Russian channels in Canada, both on cable and online, and they sow a lot of disunity and disinformation on Western democracies. They are what we believe to be state-sponsored media. We would urge this committee and others to change the ways those media are allowed to broadcast within Canada, because I think they are trying to undercut our parliamentary democracy in many ways, as well as via the other covert kinds of media operations that might be going on.
Really, we think going after the state-sponsored media of the Russian Federation is the most powerful way to ensure that there is good information about Canada and around the world.
