Madam Speaker, I appreciate the member raising the important work of APTN. I am a big fan of APTN's work, as are many constituents across Manitoba. For indigenous communities, APTN is a trusted source that brings them news that is relevant to their communities. I know that work is not easy, and we need to make sure APTN is fully supported in its work.
The CBC could be doing similar work, but unfortunately it has pulled out of much of Manitoba and is concentrated in Winnipeg, and does very little work to build relationships to ensure there is local and regional broadcasting relevant to our communities. Obviously the first step to doing that is reopening its station here, which is also part of its mandate. We are expecting it to do that.
