Thank you.
With respect to your first point, we will certainly try to find that information. Once again, we will see with our colleagues at Radio-Canada if they have the documents that we can then pass on to this committee.
To my knowledge, there has been no comparative study that shows that the CBC is in greater difficulty. It is certain that I have often heard people talk about the problem with CBC/SRC being centred on English-language television. However, it would be dangerous to single out this one factor as the whole explanation for the problem. The tiny fragment which is the francophone market, in a context of globalization, the cost of high definition and technological change are such that the market could, within 5 to 10 years—and this where the committee's mandate comes into play—face new challenges such as funding and content distribution.
I can answer your other questions, but I am not aware of the existence of a comparative study of the respective performance of the Société Radio-Canada and CBC.
