Madam Speaker, the member mentioned the layoffs we have seen over the past few weeks.
In my riding of Victoria, we have seen Bell Media laying off staff at Bell-owned stations, like CFAX, CTV News Vancouver Island.
Bell received $122 million in pandemic relief-related subsidies and has paid out increased dividends to their shareholders, and then it turned around this week and laid off hard-working news staff. Bell received taxpayer support, paid out their shareholders and laid off staff. It seems like the government is willing to give big breaks to corporations at the expense of everyday Canadians.
Could the member speak about the need for accountability for the government, accountability for corporations, and the impact on our media and Canadians?
