“Mr. Chair, I want to thank the minister for his answer and for his support on this matter. The base cabinets and kitchen cabinets issue is important to the Eastern Townships. I worked on that with my colleague from Brome—Missisquoi, who has also done outstanding work. His support was exceptional. I would like to ask the Minister of Finance to elaborate a little on the importance of local media and local radio. Those of us who live in the regions do not get their news from the major national media. The news that is personally relevant to us comes from very local media, a sector that we absolutely must support. I would like to know what is included in the economic update and, more broadly, what the government intends to do to ensure that our residents have access to the news that matters most to them, in other words, the news that directly affects them.”
