Thank you very much.
Just for information, it would be extremely helpful to us if we could get a page on funding over time. Because it's a public broadcaster, the government would make decisions from time to time on that. To some extent, it has had both an expansive and a constrictive effect in terms of the public broadcaster, so I'd be very interested.
I'm not sure of the relationship between the department and the ministry and the CBC in the context of some of the broader issues. I understand that with the more specific issues, the arm's-length nature is critical, but on the broader....
For instance, I'd be very curious as to whether or not the department has a sense of what “regions” means. I think we all have an inherent understanding of the word, but I don't think it's necessarily a word that has shared meaning. Consequently, I'm sure in Ottawa, Fredericton and Halifax would be presumed to be in the same region, but you can't go back to Fredericton and Halifax and convince anybody of that. So I would be interested in how you see “regional” working, although I know you're trying to avoid value judgments.
