Liberals Call for Greater Support for Ethnocultural Media

June 14, 2013

OTTAWA– Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau made the following statement today on the need for greater support for ethnocultural media, including OMNI Television:

“Multicultural media play a vital role in ensuring Canadians stay connected to their heritage, as well as building bridges between communities.

Encouraging and promoting diversity in our media is a principle supported by all Canadians, and this is also a central objective of Canada’s broadcasting rules.

We must do more to support ethnocultural television programming in Canada. We call on broadcasters and the CRTC to maintain and protect this vital service.”
