Thank you.
I'm very pleased that you wanted to take the time to come today. This is going to be a very interesting session for us all. This is one of the committees where you'll find that all parties are actually trying to work to come forward with a coherent response to the various, and sometimes very different, views we're hearing.
Mr. Viner, I'd like to ask you about the terms of the commitments made when you purchased the CHUM group. In Vancouver we have 27.5 hours of programming; CKEM in Calgary, 31.5 hours of local programming; CKAL Calgary, 31.5 hours; Citytv, 29 hours; CHMI, 15 hours. The proposal you're coming up with now is for 20 hours, including 10 hours of news.
Given that you just bought the stations in 2007, don't you think it's kind of odd that you're unilaterally wanting to change the commitments that you made just two years ago when you purchased those stations?
