Mr. Speaker, today, I am pleased to table a petition signed by 284 petitioners from the Les Moulins RCM.
This petition, which is also being circulated in 13 other ridings represented by other members of the House, seeks to draw the government's attention to the consequences of the new CRTC policy on independent community television in Quebec and Canada.
The petitioners are asking that the government strengthen independent community television to ensure its survival, ensure that local media is available in remote communities and other regions, and ensure that it has sufficient resources.
I therefore urge the government to take note of the new reality brought to light in this petition.
