Mr. Speaker, after the announcement yesterday, Ivan Fecan, of CTVglobemedia, said, “Congratulations to [the] Minister...for putting the audience first in the creation of this fund”.
That is what we are trying to do. We are merging together the old Canada media fund and the Canada television fund to create the Canada media fund. This will support industry, Canadian content, official languages, aboriginal content and the content that Canadians want to watch on the platform on which they choose to watch it.
This is about modernizing the way we make investments so that it serves Canadians better. It is what we were elected to do and we have delivered.
