Mr. Speaker, CKUA is a source of music, arts and community as one of Edmonton's most beloved public broadcasters, but it is facing a perfect storm with inflation and the cost of living crisis. It needs our help during these tough times. While other Canadian broadcasters receive federal help in similar circumstances, CKUA is being left behind. CKUA supports local Canadian artists and brings Edmontonians together. Will the Liberals stand up for Edmonton and our local media, and help out CKUA in its time of need, or will they continue to ignore it?

Mr. Speaker, our government has been there to support media from across this country from coast to coast to coast, from small communities to large ones. Much of the support for small communities would have been flowing had Conservatives not chosen to obstruct the passage of legislation that would have had money flowing to small community broadcasters across this country. We are going to keep working hard for those broadcasters, and we are not going to stop until Canadians have that voice from coast to coast to coast.
