Messieurs les Ministres, <\/p>\n
Je vous \u00e9cris \u00e0 titre de pr\u00e9sident de SCA Canada, le seul syndicat au pays qui se consacre aux m\u00e9dias, pour vous demander une aide imm\u00e9diate pour le secteur de l’information qui est frapp\u00e9 de plein fouet par la crise de la COVID-19.<\/p>\n
Nous vous demandons de rendre les entreprises de presse admissibles aux m\u00eames mesures que celles annonc\u00e9es aujourd’hui pour les petites et moyennes entreprises, ou de leur permettre d’obtenir imm\u00e9diatement les cr\u00e9dits d’imp\u00f4t sur la masse salariale pr\u00e9vus dans le plan d\u2019aide pour les m\u00e9dias d\u2019information 595 millions de dollars. Nous tenons \u00e0 pr\u00e9ciser que La Presse canadienne devrait y \u00eatre admissible \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 son r\u00f4le crucial \u00e0 informer les Canadiens d’un oc\u00e9an \u00e0 l’autre.<\/p>\n
Il est capital que ces fonds commencent \u00e0 \u00eatre vers\u00e9s en quelques jours, et non en quelques semaines ou mois. Il n’est pas exag\u00e9r\u00e9 de dire que la survie de certaines entreprises de presse est en jeu. Les revenus publicitaires ont chut\u00e9 de plus de deux tiers et des journaux du Qu\u00e9bec et des Maritimes ont mis \u00e0 pied des centaines d’employ\u00e9s, ont r\u00e9duit les salaires et les heures de travail. D’autres \u00e9diteurs \u00e0 travers le pays feront sans doute de m\u00eame tr\u00e8s bient\u00f4t si l’aide n’est pas au rendez-vous.<\/p>\n
En tant que syndicat qui repr\u00e9sente 6000 employ\u00e9s de journaux et d’autres entreprises m\u00e9diatiques \u00e0 travers le pays, nous nous soucions beaucoup du bien-\u00eatre de nos membres, de nos collectivit\u00e9s et de la d\u00e9fense du journalisme.<\/p>\n
Dans une p\u00e9riode de crise comme celle-ci, il est vital qu’il y ait davantage de journalisme, et non l’inverse. Et, comme \u00e7a a \u00e9t\u00e9 soulign\u00e9 dans un communiqu\u00e9 de presse de votre minist\u00e8re mercredi, les m\u00e9dias sont \u00ab un maillon indispensable de la cha\u00eene de communication entre les diff\u00e9rents ordres de gouvernement et la population \u00bb.
\nJ’ajouterais un b\u00e9mol : nous devons veiller \u00e0 ce que tous les fonds f\u00e9d\u00e9raux servent \u00e0 prot\u00e9ger les emplois et le journalisme. Les entreprises devraient s’engager \u00e0 ne pas mettre \u00e0 pied du personnel et \u00e0 ne sous-traiter des emplois \u00e0 l’\u00e9tranger, et une limite pr\u00e9cise devrait \u00eatre fix\u00e9e quant \u00e0 la r\u00e9mun\u00e9ration des cadres et aux paiements vers\u00e9s aux propri\u00e9taires ou aux pr\u00eateurs.<\/p>\n
Veuillez agr\u00e9er, messieurs les Ministres, mes salutations distingu\u00e9es.<\/p>\n
