I'll leave this open-ended, because we don't have enough time and it's a pretty complicated idea.
In the province I come from, we really do appreciate the value of Radio-Canada, particularly in the context of the francophone population, the Acadian population in New Brunswick.
I would worry. I would see two things. I would worry about the problem that could be created as the reach of public broadcasting is diminished, both in the context of other available broadcasting and also in the context of new technology. I would worry that the continuing effort will have less and less impact.
Clearly I'm curious--and again, I don't look for an answer right now, because I'm sure the chair would want me to say that--but I would like you to explore this: what is the profile of the content in the new media? I know it's not your mandate, but in terms of offering some advice to us coming from official language policy, it would be important for us to know what you see out there so that we can make decisions as to how aggressively we have to pursue this from your very specific perspective.
I'm glad you're here, because your very specific perspective is incredibly important to my very specific province.
