Yes. Obviously, with all the money in the world, there still needs to be some type of vision, which is why in the end portion of our presentation we called on Parliament to take the lead in saying this is what we want in this institution and we would like the board of directors to come to us with a plan, and then that is something Parliament would consider investing in. This would take the spending up to something like the median for the western democracies. And your famous predecessor, Mr. Chair, and I think friend, Clifford Lincoln, was very proud of page 178 of that report. You were a member of that committee. That page shows where Canada is in relation to the western democracies, because in public broadcasting it's very modest. But the key is the leadership.
In my work I get to see other public broadcasters. I get to see some of the German public broadcasters, French, Scandinavian, Swiss, the Japanese. I do not mention the Americans. They have senior professional leadership that understands the business.
The tradition in this country has been for the Prime Minister to appoint the president of the CBC. His broadcasting experience has not been—apparently, if you look back—a criterion that is deemed important, and that even goes down to appointments that the president makes. I don't want to get into personalities, but you would need new leadership as an ingredient of basing this new case. It would be very important, and that goes back to a board of directors that is equipped to do its job—in the phrase we use, “the best and the brightest Canadians”—who would then go out and hire and, if necessary, replace the management. That's the missing ingredient.
