Mr. Angus, I know you have a great interest in this area.
As you know, the Canadian Television Fund has just established, and it is operating now under a new government's format. This is a format that has been worked on for a number of months--I would think over a year--as to what would satisfy the needs of not only the communities and the producers, but also to do it in a responsible and accountable way. We are looking now at monitoring that. The reports so far are that the new system is working very well.
As far as the future needs of the producers, we're going to be working with them. At this point in time, I cannot say whether changes to the fund will become A-base or not. It has not been deliberated or decided upon.
Certainly, as I'm listening to you, I will give consideration to what you may be asking for as a pre-budget consultation suggestion.
