Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Good morning, gentlemen, madam.
There is so much that I would like to discuss with you. I'll begin with your comments about Quebec. I don't know if Quebec film producers make any money. However, I can assure you that we have tried everything to protect our culture and our artists, whether by appealing to broadcasters or to film producers. We have decided to organize ourselves before someone else does it for us. That's the approach we have taken in Quebec.
We face another threat that you have not mentioned. Cable companies plan to introduce U.S. productions. You alluded briefly to this. Nevertheless, as I see it, this represents a very real threat for the film industry in English Canada.
I'll start with a question for Mr. Charbonneau and Ms. Astbury, and then I'll come back to your opening remarks.
Ms. Astbury, do you believe that a cable broadcaster and the CBC reached an agreement or conspired in some way to take your television channel off the air?
