Bienvenue.
I was pleased to hear what Mr. Angus had to say about northern Ontario. Coming from New Brunswick, I'm quite aware of the benefits of Radio-Canada. But I'd like to consider one opportunity, and that has to do with what I think is the complementarity between community radio and Radio-Canada.
Both perform a very serious, important function in an English city, Fredericton, with about a 10% francophone population. It has occurred to me in the past that there may be some complementarity there that could be helpful.
I spoke of this before, because the second problem, which is a real challenge, is with kids. Technology is working against a lot that has been accomplished in New Brunswick since the 1960s in reversing the assimilation that was taking place, and in fact I think New Brunswick stands out in duality. Charlie mentioned the school system. I think duality has done it in New Brunswick, for the record. But I'm worried now because the new entertainment systems, the new media for all kinds of things, are heavily English.
So is there some opportunity through the school system to engage kids in a very specific, objective, and driven way to at least offer the opportunity of options? I'm particularly interested in the complementarity, because I know how engaged you are in community specifically, and I think you can help a lot in some of these challenges.
I don't want it to become an excuse either way. I don't want community radio to be an excuse for not financing Radio-Canada, and I don't want Radio-Canada to be an excuse for not financing community radio. They're both critical, but I think they can be complementary.
Do you have any comments?
