As an MP for the NDP, I would like to congratulate you for all the work that you do. Keep going. We really do need you.
Earlier I was somewhat critical of the Irvings. In all honesty—I am blunt about this and I am sure that they are going to read the blues and all that—it really upsets me that, in one province, 17 newspapers belong to one individual alone. In my opinion, this is anti-democratic. We should be launching an inquiry into this issue. I do not want to reserve my criticism for the Irvings alone. The same thing applies to Quebecor. And before that, there was the National Post, and that other individual who acted the same. I feel that this is completely anti-democratic.
We need you. Continue working. We are here to represent you and to help you when you need it. You said that it takes a year and a half in order to get a meeting: we will try to shorten this timeline.
