Question Period Notes
About this information
In accordance with the Access to Information Act, the government proactively publishes the package of question period notes that were prepared by a government institution for the minister and that were in use on the last sitting day in June and December.
The question period notes may be partially or fully redacted in accordance with the legislation; for example, if the notes contain information related to national security or personal information. (Learn more about exemptions and exclusions.)

Canada’s media sector is undergoing profound and accelerating transformation. The global digital transition continues to erode the economic foundations that traditionally supported news production, weakening revenues and contributing to layoffs and restructuring across the industry, including at TVA, Corus, and other private media companies. As Canadians shift away from traditional advertising-supported models and become increasingly reluctant to pay for news, local outlets are closing faster than new ones can emerge. The Government of Canada maintains a strong commitment to supporting civic journalism and local news through targeted and structural measures designed to preserve journalistic independence while helping communities stay informed and engaged.
Is the Government of Canada releasing a digital ID app? The Government of Canada is testing three new tools: GC Issue and Verify, a secure online platform, and GC Wallet – Beta and GC Verify – Beta, both mobile apps. These are being tested with a small group in two pilot projects with federal partners:
Transport Canada: testing digital licenses for aviation personnel.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada: testing digital temporary resident visas for Moroccan visitors.
• The GC Wallet – Beta and GC Verify – Beta apps are available in beta on Google Play and Apple App stores, but are only functional for pilot participants. Testing in stages—first in controlled environments, then in real-world pilots—is standard practice.
