Hello and welcome to this episode of the Political Debrief podcast. Today, we are talking about Bill C-18, the online news act, a very controversial bill which aims to support Canadian journalisim. To chat about this, we are joined by Tim Louis, the Liberal MP for Kitchener-Conestoga and a member of the heritage committee.
