Mr. Chairman, my responsibility in particular is the vitality and the needs of minority language communities, whether they be anglophones in the Îles de la Madeleine, Trois-Rivières, or scattered around Quebec, or francophone minorities in western Canada. One of the extraordinary achievements of CBC and Radio-Canada is not only in terms of the official language communities, but also broadcasting in the Arctic in a variety of aboriginal languages. This is not to use a market rationale for how the vitality of those communities is sustained by broadcasting to those communities, whether it's the francophones in Saskatchewan or the anglophones in Quebec.
If you start getting into the criteria of evaluating, it is similar to the use of statistics or percentages to decide whether a community has language rights or not. I think that approach undermines the vitality and the sustainability of minority language communities in which CBC and Radio-Canada both play critical roles.
