Thank you.
Thank you.
As an MP representing an isolated Franco-Ontarian rural region, I believe that Radio-Canada plays a critical role in the cultural life of the Franco-Ontarian community. In the Timmins-James Bay region, for example, Radio-Canada is the sole voice representing the communities.
Hearst communicates with Sudbury and Timmins communicates with Larder Lake. I'm well aware of the role and importance of the radio in the francophone regions, but I am asking myself the following question: in your opinion, is there enough funding for the francophones in the regions to really see themselves on television?
