I agree that it would be great to have advertising and what not out of the picture, and just fund CBC directly. I think that's a wonderful idea. I think having a public broadcaster is essential to Canada and our Canadian identity, and I think having that accountability to Parliament is not a bad thing.
This is off my topic, but I would want to make sure CBC remains impartial in terms of news coverage and isn't somehow beholden to Parliament, because I think it's very important to have that freedom to say whatever the news service wants to say. But as long as those rights are protected, I think some sort of direct funding in the way you're talking about, that model or some sort of levy, would be great. But there are other revenue streams that we're probably not even thinking about, especially from other areas like new media that will be coming online.
