Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for Kings—Hants for his extraordinary hard work. I know that he and MPs from coast to coast to coast have heard from constituents who understand the vital role that local news plays in their communities. That is why it is so disappointing to see the Conservative leader copy and paste right-wing talking points from the States in his effort to shut down these local news outlets.
On this side of the House, we will always stand up for the important services that rural individuals, francophones and, indeed, families across the country rely on.
