Please read the following statement from Elizabeth May, MP elect for Saanich—Gulf Islands, recognising World Press Freedom Day:
”Thank you to all members of the press in Canada who hold government to account. World Press Freedom Day reminds us that a free press is not a given, but our democracy relies on it. I am proud to support independent media and a competitive news landscape across our country. I also want to recognise the journalists who face censorship and who put their lives on the line to speak truth to power.”
