Madam Speaker, what my colleague from Abitibi—Témiscamingue is proposing is very interesting.
As part of the discussions we could have about our public broadcaster, we could indeed consider getting CBC/Radio-Canada to establish collaborations, for example, between the public broadcaster and small regional media outlets that are essential for regional coverage, which is often an afterthought but is no less vital to democracy.
Using the tools and means at our disposal, with a public broadcaster that is virtually ubiquitous but that does not necessarily have the means right now to take full advantage of its resources, and creating collaborations to help support regional newspapers or media outlets could be an extremely useful solution to explore.
I agree completely with my colleague. We really need to do a lot more for our regional media, especially in remote regions.
