The CRTC carries out a review of every station whose licence is about to expire and that makes an application for renewal based on a series of commitments, including local service. In addition, business plans are filed and programming proposals made. However, that is not in every community; that only affects communities where conventional television stations operate services.
I would like to go back to the question that was asked to say that there are areas where there are valid exceptions to the rule that the public service should complement and not interfere in the very local market. There are surely some hypotheses—Mr. Scott spoke about this just now—and certain cases, I am convinced, where the private service cannot be or is not present. And the public service, if it is desirable and directed to, should be there but it should complement rather than compete with private services.
That is the basis for our position: it should provide a complementary rather than a competing service, benefiting both parties.
