So you're talking about making a better use of the web in order to democratize broadcasting.

If francophones set up blogs or "wikis", then CBC needs to talk about it. We're given websites from Quebec. There's a CBC editorial which talks about good websites, good addresses, but they aren't local addresses. They're addresses set up by active people in Quebec. And that's a pity, because francophones from here won't be interested.

Thank you very much. I've really appreciated your presentations here this morning and your answers to the questions.
When we were in Yellowknife the other evening we listened to a lot of people and gave them their time. I'm sorry we couldn't do that today. We could probably spend hours with every witness we've had here today, so thank you for coming.
In the north, in Yellowknife and the Northwest Territories, we have some 11 Innu languages along with French and English. I know it has to be a big problem to serve all the people of Canada. We have a bilingual country, and Vancouver is a hub of more languages.
We've heard about new media for a long time, and I appreciate the various presentations today on new media. Thank you very much.
Our next presentations will start at two o'clock.
The meeting is adjourned.
