No, actually it pre-dates your decision by almost a year.
For those of you not so familiar with the ins and outs of this, CBC television maintains, and it had for many years, a department that designs and builds sets within the organization. I must say we're the only English-language broadcaster in North America that maintains this kind of capacity, and we had a look at it to see whether there was some way of doing it more efficiently. We concluded that we could save about $1 million a year by essentially saying to people that if they needed somebody to build their sets to go out and get competitive bids from the private market. So that's what we did. We decided simply to get out of the business.
The union approached us at that point and asked if we would mind delaying our decision for a little while, so they'd have a chance to explore the possibility of setting up whatever, a company, some form of workers co-op, so that when the people who are involved in these activities leave the building, they can set themselves up with a little business and then come and bid on the work, whether our work or other broadcasters' work, and maintain their jobs. So we said that sounded okay and we'd give them some time to see whether they could do that and we would delay the cuts until the end of the television season, which is early May. So we gave them about nine months, and it turned out, unfortunately, that they couldn't find some way through it.
So now all that's happening is we've simply reiterated the fact that we're going to exit the business. But this all completely pre-dates, as I say, your decision to have a look at the mandate of the CBC.
