All of the broadcasters could talk about operational difficulties, that is to say constraints that are imposed on us, for example for the negotiation of rights. When we appear before the Canadian Television Fund, the only thing we can negotiate are licences, we cannot negotiate any other rights tied to other platforms. This, in my opinion, does not correspond to the needs of the 21st century. When we decide to commit to a significant production, it is important to know how we will best be able to make use of it. Will we be able to run it on DVD, broadcast it, broadcast it on the radio or in some other form?
Currently there are huge limitations involved with the Canadian Television Fund. For us, these constraints are less and less acceptable. If we invest significant amounts to produce, for example, the show Rumeurs, we have to know what all of the various platforms will generate for us. I feel that such constraints create major difficulties and do not correspond to the environment towards which we are heading.
