Senator Dupuis: I have a supplementary question. There is a list of recognized community media for every region of Quebec on the Government of Quebec site. It is possible that similar lists exist in the other provinces and territories. Will the committee follow up with the company selected to ensure the media services in order to check whether these communication tools are available elsewhere in the country?

Hon. Renée Dupuis: My question is for the Chair of the Standing Senate Committee on Internal Economy, Budgets and Administration. Madam Chair, the committee decided to end its contract with the Library of Parliament for the daily media review sent to senators. I understand that a contract has been signed with Critical Mention to have this company conduct a pilot project for the same media review service for senators.

Until now, it has been impossible to include in the media review a significant number of articles from local or community media interested in the work of the Senate and senators. In the reply I have been receiving for years, I was told, among other things, that there were technical issues related to the fact that the Library of Parliament did not have the required copyright licences.

It is important for the Senate to not rely solely on the media it has traditionally consulted and to look to new information media. Now that the Senate has taken back this responsibility, can you confirm that the committee you chair will ensure that this company will reach local and community media in all regions of Canada?
