I don't think there's any question of the importance of a television industry in Quebec and throughout Canada.
My only question would be to the committee, that without some type of additional consultation, I'm wondering whether we're putting forward an idea that would see us distribute the resources we currently have in a way that would effectively diminish the capacity of this industry to continue in any ways that it's already been able to develop. I'm quite concerned that we ensure that we have a strong and competitive industry that is established. I think we're taking baby steps in that direction, but I'm concerned that if we start to push it out of the major centres, we might be spreading it too thin.
I won't speak on behalf of the minister, but I know she's met with a number of organizations and is working in that direction, and she hopes we might be able to have a stronger industry, both in the major centres and throughout Canada as well.
I'd just ask the question, are we moving in a direction that would see the resources we currently have spread too thinly and would diminish the effectiveness we currently have? I don't know the answer, but I'm wondering whether we as a committee want to consider that.
