Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Right Hon. Prime Minister who will no doubt be aware by now that Thomson Newspapers has announced that it intends to sell all its newspapers with the exception of The Globe and Mail .
Given that this raises the alarming prospect of an incredible concentration of ownership in the print media in this country, and given that this issue has been with us since the Kent commission back in 1980-81, I wonder whether the Prime Minister could tell us, whether the government now intends to act in some decisive way before we face the prospect of a virtual monopoly in the print media in Canada.
