I think there is a concern, but in the same way that the nature of democracy and the legitimacy of public representatives are not affected by turnout, whether you were elected in a by-election in which there was a very small turnout or whether you were elected with an overwhelming turnout, there is a public legitimacy of public assets. If you view Canadians as citizens rather than consumers and public broadcasting as being a public asset, that is an entirely different frame for evaluating the importance of CBC/Radio-Canada.
