Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It's interesting to note that the minister is now on an information-gathering session. From hearing my colleagues across the table, they're saying we should really remain positive while the negotiations are taking place. My fundamental question is that I don't really understand what there is to negotiate. These are the terms of their licence. They're in defiance of their licence. They've created a legitimacy crisis, not just in the television industry but across the entire regulatory framework in our country.
I would like to get a sense from you, as you're going out to try to raise funds this spring to get new programming off the ground, whether that legitimacy crisis is hitting in the market. Are people asking, are we going to be putting up funds when we do not know whether the two main players are even going to be at the table?
