Just for absolute clarification, so that we're all on the same page, we're saying that the four sessions we'll be having on the CTF are dealing with the CTF. The information from those would then be beneficial to move forward into the CBC. We're not dealing with the CBC when we're dealing with the CTF in those four sessions. I say that just for clarity.

No, sorry, the CBC is part of it because the argument that's been launched by Vidéotron and Shaw is that they do not want their money to be tied in any way with the public broadcaster. So the CBC will be a part of it when we're dealing with the CTF. We need to look at CTF and its validity in order to understand the CBC, so there are connections.

I'm going to be very short here and then we're going to quickly call the vote.
The one thing is that there are two dates we can't change: Thursday, February 8, which is already set; and February 13, when the minister is coming here. So we could start it on February 15. That's how close to being frontloaded we can be on that.
I'll ask for a vote on Mr. Angus' motion.
(Motion agreed to)
It's unanimous.
The meeting is adjourned.
