This is the standard as it is now. Again, they can take some of that 5% envelope and put it to local or regional television or other programming, but the issue of pulling all the money out and saying they're going to set up a separate fund is highly problematic. Based on what we've heard on the fundamental funding envelope as it is, if there are questions about governance structures, who sits at the table or how that funding is allocated, I don't really believe those are in our area of expertise. I'm just very concerned about the trial balloons that were floated about cutting the money that CBC is able to allocate.
The final issue, continuing to fund independent production, is a very important element in this piece. I therefore wanted to say that the overall funding envelope, as it stands now, should remain in place.
