Welcome Mr. Péladeau and Mr. Lavoie.
After listening to you, I have a feeling that the debate will go far beyond the Canadian Television Fund itself, with the arrival of new technologies. You spoke of deregulation. Have you considered the impacts of such a process? We were dealing with telecommunications, but the same could apply to radio and television broadcasting. Have you assessed the impact of cultural sovereignty in Quebec and in Canada, in view of the fact that, as Ms. Fry said, we are located so close to the United States?
Because of its identity and its language, Quebec is relatively sheltered—and I say relatively sheltered—but anglophones in Canada could see their culture threatened, could even be culturally assimilated, if that were to come to pass.
I would like to hear what you have to say about that.
