I find it ironic as we sit in this room and look straight ahead to see the mural The Printed Word. If you look over your shoulder, you see another mural. Clearly, journalism and freedom of the press are important with respect to our democracy and really build on that openness and transparency.

Based on your experiences with news organizations in the United States, for example, and in other western democracies, how important is this to Canada in terms of the experiences of these other countries?
