Unfortunately, I'm employed by S-Vox and not able to offer legal advice to this committee. So with that caveat, again, for me, the reality is that this industry is incredibly complex. There are a variety of stakeholders, and they all need to work together and they need to find ways to work together.
I welcome the suggestions of Quebecor and Vidéotron in terms of new ways to think of funding Canadian production. I may not agree with them. I may not like them, but broadcasting is about the exchange of ideas, so let's share those ideas and see if we can come up with good solutions.
In terms of the immediate funding, I would recommend that this committee push for either a loan or an advance against government funding for next year to bridge that gap to August 31. If the distributors do not make the contribution by August 31, then there is a different remedy available to both the minister and the CRTC at that point because there is then a clear violation of the regulations, not just a transgression against a CRTC circular.
