OTTAWA -- More than 3,000 Canadians have signed a petition asking Heritage Minister James Moore to restore a subsidy for Manitoba's only French-language newspaper.
NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair tabled the petition in the House of Commons Wednesday. It calls on Moore to correct a new formula for the Canadian Periodical Fund, which inadvertently reduces the subsidy La Liberté receives by $50,000 to $60,000 a year.
