00:00:00.000 I don't know if you saw the news story, but Elections Canada is investigating Juneau News
00:00:04.380 and our reporter Kim Bextie for some very thorough, well-vetted, corroborated story
00:00:08.760 that he released during the election campaign, which embarrassed the Liberal government.
00:00:12.760 And now they're coming after us.
00:00:14.280 I'm wondering if you can comment on the story.
00:00:17.180 Yeah, I mean, I don't know all of the details of the story.
00:00:20.500 Admittedly, it's been a busy week for me.
00:00:22.480 But, you know, particularly for me and all of my conservative colleagues, we believe in free speech.
00:00:30.720 It's why we opposed.
00:00:31.800 And you've done such a good job on this, too, opposing the Liberal censorship bills, Bill C-11, C-18.
00:00:37.900 I think the knowing what I know about the story, the part of the bill that they're, you know, using.
00:00:46.420 Yep, Section 91.
00:00:47.820 We oppose that, right?
00:00:50.540 Conservatives did.
00:00:51.240 So, you know, we stand on free speech.
00:00:53.220 And, you know, the role of media in Canada is to hold people like me and the government to account.
00:01:00.000 And, you know, you've seen the Liberals use a variety of mechanisms over the last several years.
00:01:07.120 You know, I just mentioned two of those bills to suppress independent journalism, to suppress, you know, we've got news bans in Canada we never had before.
00:01:16.020 So, you know, shout out to your listeners.
00:01:17.840 Make sure you subscribe and get around those news bans.
00:01:20.440 But we have to see a change in that we won't have growth and innovation in Canada or government accountability if the government's, you know, primary objective is to suppress freedom of speech.
00:01:34.460 So, you know, of course, we're going to stand up for that and hold the Liberals to account.
00:01:40.420 Let's go over it.
00:01:42.240 Let's go over it.
00:01:46.660 Let's go over it.
00:01:53.040 Let's go over it.
