“Mr. Speaker, when the power goes out, when forest fires burn wild and the highways close, people in my riding tune in to their radio stations such as Moose FM and Le Loup. When rural Canadians travel to work, they listen to their radio. However, the government spends only 3% of its advertising budget on local Canadian radio. Without spending an extra dime, will the government give local radio its fair share of federal advertising?”
