François Legault admitted on Friday evening, during a visit to a vaccination center, that solutions must be found for the media crisis.

Without offering promising emergency aid to the TVA Group, the Prime Minister promised to soon address the many challenges facing traditional media with the help of the Minister of Culture and Communications, Mathieu Lacombe, who promised to review the television funding model.

The Prime Minister also promised to personally intervene in this matter. He committed to challenging the federal government without delay in seeking permanent solutions to the crisis.

In Ottawa, Canadian Heritage Minister Pascale Saint-Onge described the layoff of 547 employees at TVA Group as shocking, while saying she hopes that the updating of laws made by her government will reverse this trend.

"Ideally, I would like to see, at the end of all these newsrooms, that they rehire the journalists," the minister announced on the sidelines of an event in Montreal.

Legault did not comment on the potential emergency aid to TVA Group, instead mentioning measures applied in the past, such as tax exemptions on work, the functioning of newsrooms, and the strengthening of some funds for the audiovisual industry.

He also said that the future indeed requires updating the law through investments from web giants doing business in Quebec, who are making a lot of money.
