Where I was going with my response, Mr. Chair, is if this committee wishes to look at measures—policy measures, regulatory measures—that support the Canadian broadcasting system as a whole, we'd be happy to look at that at whatever time you choose to do so.
Quite frankly, I find your comments, sir, in holding up a program schedule this morning, are fraudulent, because here we are talking about the CBC and transparency.
Can you provide, sir, any information on the CBC as to its program funding, its revenue strategies, or how in fact the funds are actually used? This is not to make an indicting statement, Mr. Angus; it's simply to say to have a discussion about public broadcasting would be best, in our view, enlightened by a basis of fact.
We may not agree, and that's perfectly fine. We respect your right to disagree, and to disagree viscerally, but at least we would be starting from the point of view that would be shared, at least in terms of the facts. In the absence of those facts, we feel that it's a very difficult discussion. It's a very difficult discussion that frankly doesn't lead anywhere, in our view, that's all that constructive.
