Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I see this a little bit differently. I'm on the industry committee for our party, and there you actually have the minister running roughshod over the CRTC on a regular basis, not necessarily waiting for an opinion.
I grew up in Windsor, Ontario, and airwave was the only television, not cable, at that time. The children's programming I received was somebody getting hit by an anvil, falling off a cliff, or eating spinach and punching somebody in the face. I can tell you right now, as a parent of a three-year-old and a six-year-old, how proud I am of Canadian television and the children's department--for example, Treehouse, which offers limited access to commercials but at the same time provides really ingenious programs.
Your cultural connection is very important, and I think I would like to hear a little bit more about that, because I live in one of the most diverse parts of Canada, the fourth largest. We have over 100 ethnic cultures that are organized as bodies and groups, and our immigration population is booming.
Could you expand on your concerns about not being able to meet that challenge if the proper service and supports aren't there for you to be able to do your job?
