Mr. Speaker, we have no problem with funding going to English-language regional news outlets, but it should not come out of French-language media outlets' funding. If outlets are added to the independent local news fund, money should also be added. We would obviously not have this problem if the Prime Minister had not abolished the digital services tax. The government could have provided decent funding for all our media outlets through the web giants' fair share.
Since the Prime Minister is depriving our media outlets of this revenue, will he top up the fund?
