Two of the key witnesses who came forward about Bill <a data-HoCid=\"11668222\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-18/\" title=\"An Act respecting online communications platforms that make news content available to persons in Canada\">C-18</a> were from the Alberta Weekly Newspapers Association and the Saskatchewan Weekly Newspapers Association. These newspapers, independent outlets right across Alberta and Saskatchewan, are the ones that cover cities and other places represented by half of the Conservative caucus, and they said Bill <a data-HoCid=\"11668222\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-18/\" title=\"An Act respecting online communications platforms that make news content available to persons in Canada\">C-18</a> needs to be put in place, adopted as quickly as possible.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7881270\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have Alberta community newspapers and Saskatchewan community newspapers saying the bill needs to be brought in, and we have Conservative MPs who represent those ridings fighting tooth and nail to block this bill completely, refusing to allow it through. To me, that seems to be hypocrisy and a clear contradiction of what Conservative MPs should be defending, which is their communities' interests.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7881271\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why are the Conservatives blocking a bill that their community newspapers are calling for?</p>",

Deux des principaux t\u00e9moins qui ont comparu au sujet du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"11668222\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-18/\" title=\"An Act respecting online communications platforms that make news content available to persons in Canada\">C\u201118</a> provenaient de l\u2019Alberta Weekly Newspapers Association et de la Saskatchewan Weekly Newspapers Association. Ces journaux, des m\u00e9dias ind\u00e9pendants de l\u2019Alberta et de la Saskatchewan, sont ceux qui couvrent l'actualit\u00e9 des villes et d\u2019autres endroits repr\u00e9sent\u00e9s par la moiti\u00e9 du caucus conservateur. Or, ils ont dit que le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"11668222\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-18/\" title=\"An Act respecting online communications platforms that make news content available to persons in Canada\">C\u201118</a> doit \u00eatre adopt\u00e9 et mis en \u0153uvre le plus rapidement possible.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7881270\" data-originallang=\"en\">Des journaux communautaires de l\u2019Alberta et de la Saskatchewan affirment que le projet de loi doit entrer en vigueur, et des d\u00e9put\u00e9s conservateurs qui repr\u00e9sentent ces circonscriptions se battent bec et ongles pour bloquer compl\u00e8tement le projet de loi, refusant de le faire adopter. \u00c0 mon avis, c\u2019est de l\u2019hypocrisie et une contradiction flagrante par rapport \u00e0 ce que les d\u00e9put\u00e9s conservateurs devraient d\u00e9fendre, c\u2019est-\u00e0-dire les int\u00e9r\u00eats de leurs collectivit\u00e9s. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7881271\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi les conservateurs bloquent-ils un projet de loi r\u00e9clam\u00e9 par leurs journaux communautaires?</p>"
