I will ask all my questions at once. I do not believe we have enough time but if you should have the time could you send us one or more written responses?
I have three short questions. First of all, with regard to capturing an audience, we know that public television is founded on the principle of having a large audience. How can a public broadcaster develop as such and avoid the pitfalls of competing with the private sector? That is my first question
My second question is this: you speak of core broadcasting for CBC/Radio-Canada. Could you please explain what you mean by core broadcasting?
And for my last question: with the explosion of audiovisual media, would restricting CBC/Radio-Canada to the role of core broadcaster not result in the slow death of the public broadcaster?
