“I want people to watch this TV network that I like. It won some awards. It's about aboriginal people.”

Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, today on Parliament Hill, I recognize and applaud the leadership of the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network. Bravo to the team for their first Canadian Screen Award for best national newscast. It is likely not the last such award, given the talent and hard work among the journalists and the rest of the news team. In 1999, the APTN became the first national indigenous broadcaster in the world. Since then, the APTN has continued to grow, connecting indigenous and non-indigenous audiences. These are stories and perspectives that would not be heard if it were not for the network dedicated to indigenous people and their stories. Given that we are in National Indigenous History Month, I would encourage all colleagues to check out all of the APTN offerings, from the award-winning national broadcast to the sports coverage and the brilliant new North of North TV series. Congratulations, APTN, on 10 Canadian Screen Awards this year.
