Yes, but only partially. As my colleague Bill Neville emphasized, the regional aspect must be improved. We have a very interesting culture in all the regions of Canada. There is a certain creativity that exists outside of the major urban centres. Many of our Canadian stars launched their careers in the smaller cities across Canada.
Quebec, for example, has a cultural vitality that exists not only in Montreal but also outside of that city. Newfoundland and Labrador has a very particular culture. On the anglophone side, that province exhibits great creativity, with very interesting comedy. The creativity exists everywhere in Canada.
The opportunities that are available on CBC, in the regions, are not sufficient. What we are recommending today, when you talk about reducing local coverage, is a shift in direction in order to put more emphasis on the cultural contribution of all the regions of Canada.
In that sense, the answer to your question is “no”. I do not want to criticize CBC management, but the reality is that for all kinds of reasons, it is not currently meeting the regional challenge satisfactorily.
