Canadian Heritage committee  If you talk to any francophone association in New Brunswick or western Canada, they'll say that cutting funding to Radio‑Canada would jeopardize the survival of francophone communities both inside and outside Quebec. Of course, there are other media outlets in the country, as demonstrated by today's presentations.

Canadian Heritage committee  First, Radio-Canada gradually turned into a broadcaster. Corporate choices were made at the expense of in‑house production to support the development of a television industry in the country. As a result, Radio-Canada's entertainment industry, known as variety shows, is mainly produced by the private sector.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you for inviting me. The Syndicat des travailleuses et travailleurs de Radio-Canada, or STTRC, has approximately 3,000 members in Quebec and Moncton. The members we represent work in more than 200 jobs, ranging from administration and the technical sector to production.
