Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Bibic, the new president of Bell Media recently said that diversity within Bell is important, and that's a good thing. He said that the company wants half of the programs it is commissioning this year to be generated by Black, indigenous, visible minority and under-represented creators. I totally agree with him about diversity and inclusion, but I also agree on fairness.
I imagine that Bell is used to quotas, for example for francophone content on the radio, but don't you think it would be preferable for the company to stand out as the one that takes action to ensure that all communities, including under-represented communities, have access to the content creation and acquisition process, rather than having ratios that can lead to some discrimination in an environment where the percentage of creators from those communities may not be around 50%, for example?
Don't you think it would be better to come up with ways to make the content creation and acquisition processes accessible to as many people as possible?
