Let me answer this question quickly. In my opinion, Part VII of the Official Languages Act demonstrates that the decline in advertising has a direct impact on the vitality of official language minority communities. It's very simple, and it's in the document I submitted to the clerk. You can get copies.
In 2008, we printed 40 pages a week. In 2017, we printed 27. This means that there are more than 600 pages fewer per year, more than 600 articles we aren't able to publish. That means we can't focus on the rural area, we need to have some restrictions and cutbacks. We also can't sponsor non-profit organizations, people who organize dance tournaments, card tournaments, and who can't afford to advertise to attract people.
I submitted my presentation which contains emergency solutions and solutions to perpetuate original Canadian content. Part VII of the Official Languages Act is directly related to the number of pages and the way a newspaper operates. In a newspaper, it's very simple. Two advertising pages produce two pages of content. Four pages of advertising produce four pages of content. When the government pulls 10 pages of advertising from our newspaper, there are 10 fewer pages of content. The calculation is very clear.
