Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Good morning and welcome. I'm very pleased to see you again. Firstly, I wish to congratulate you for your very clear and well-written documents tabled with this committee.
Would it be possible to obtain a historical overview from the regions' information services? This is a topic that I would like to eventually bring up with the committee, so that we can assess the decline or improvement of services. We sometimes receive complaints from people living in remote areas, claiming that they wish to change services because they no longer feel represented in what is broadcast locally.
Would it be possible to carry out a comparative study of the respective performances of Société Radio-Canada and the CBC? Some critics would have us believe that in the world of public audiovisual broadcasting, the CBC is a lame duck in comparison with the Société Radio-Canada, which performs well year after year, in spite of the meagre resources that are allocated to it.
