Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to the witnesses for being here.
I've listened to Mr. Angus. I guess he has a little beef with local radio—I don't know why. We do appreciate those messages we get when our kids are going off to school. In a day of satellite radio and so many hundreds of options out there, local content in our communities is certainly valued.
Mr. Conway, on the issue of Canadian broadcasters, local stations, how do you see their role in supporting Canadian content? Mr. Skolnik listed some of the performers in our communities that we value. What do you see as your role in allowing those individuals to make a living, buy a house, raise a family in Canada, make us proud both nationally and also on the international stage as we develop our talent here in Canada? How do you see the role of the local station?
