Madam Speaker, a healthy democracy requires a strong and independent press, especially in this era of disinformation, which spreads online. This additional $150-million investment in our public broadcaster is an investment in a credible, high-quality source of information for local, regional and national news.
Back home in Madawaska—Restigouche, I listen to La matinale, or Information Morning on CBC in the morning. In the evening, I watch Téléjournal Acadie. I read the news on the CBC mobile app, thanks to the support we give our public broadcaster. It is essential for a healthy democracy and informed citizens.
