It occurs to me that it's a bit of a chicken and egg exercise when the resources are necessary to deliver the goods and there's a need for some confidence, in terms of the content, in what's at the other end of the expenditure. There's sort of a confidence that's necessary to support that large investment, because I think it is a large investment that is necessary. I'm personally rather confident in what the outcomes would be with that investment. I resolved that dilemma in my mind some time ago.
I know that in other areas it's an ongoing question. So I welcome the invitation for dialogue. I welcome the recognition that the added dimension has to do with new technology and so on. I understand the content piece quite easily.
I do think that as a country, probably, maybe we are even unique in the world because of our proximity to the United States and because of the small population in a large physical space and the challenges this represents. But I would flip it and say it also represents a significant opportunity. My sense is that we probably have to do this first, because of the nature of Canada, and that allows us then to be first, which has with it lots of advantages.
What's the role of the public broadcaster in your mind in that mission for our country? Is it yours to do? Is it ours to do? Is it ours to do together? How do you see Canada pursuing that, and what's your role in it?
