Mr. Patrick Brown (Barrie, CPC): Mr. Speaker, I have a petition signed by several hundred residents of the city of Barrie petitioning Parliament and the CRTC to look at value for signal. This is in regard to our local television station that is going through some difficult periods, like local TV is across Canada.
The petition has gained significant support in the community of Barrie where we certainly appreciate the role our local television plays in highlighting local charities and contributing to our local culture.
Therefore, it is with pride and enthusiasm that I present this petition on behalf of the residents of Barrie.
