I want to use my time today to go through some of the challenges we at the CRTC are seeing in the broadcasting sector. And I’ll tell you about the progress we’re making – with the input and assistance of many of you – to lessen the impact of those headwinds and make your sailing smoother.

We promote choice and affordability for Canadians, encourage investment in reliable and high-quality networks, and work to improve access to telecommunications services in Indigenous, rural, and remote communities.
It’s why, in the budget, we are really focused on three things. First, housing—the Prime Minister outlined the key housing policies. Second, affordability, with programs like the dental care plan and ongoing investments in our early learning and child care system, and the absolutely crucial investments for the Canadian economy.
Our budget is a plan to build more affordable homes; grow our economy in a way that will create good-paying jobs for Canadians and keep Canada at the economic forefront; and strengthen Canada’s social safety net to help make life cost less.
We’re acting now—and acting with purpose—because the cost of inaction today would be borne chiefly by younger Canadians. We would be leaving them behind. And we will not do that. Instead, we will help them realize the promise of Canada with a responsible plan that creates new career opportunities and grows the economy for every generation.

Before I begin, I’d like to acknowledge that we are gathering on the traditional and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples, who have been stewards of this land since timeimmemorial.
Canada has everything it takes to be a global leader in the full electric vehicle supply chain. We have the raw materials, like aluminum, lithium, steel, and nickel. We have a strong manufacturing base. And most important of all, we have the talented, committed, skilled people who know how to mine those materials, then they know how to transform them into fantastic products, including the amazing cars we see here.
