I will answer you in French.
In our brief, we obviously talked about the problem of resources. I think this is a basic problem. I believe that all members of the committee have understood very well that if we wish to have a public broadcaster in a position to fulfil its mandate, you will of course have to study the overall issue of resources. That is an important component.
We also mentioned in our brief—and this was briefly discussed earlier on—the need to tie the resources granted to the SRC to an accountability framework. In a way, the SRC must be like any other government agency, that is to say it must be accountable. With this end in view, I think there is substantive work to be done.
The issue of local and national service concerns us because, in the end, there is very little done nationally, with the exception of the major newscasts, that goes without saying. So we are not talking about one or two small steps. I think there are several corrective actions that could be taken if we want a broadcaster that properly represents who we are and highlights the major issues of Canadian society.
As far as we are concerned, over the last year, we took on the responsibility of becoming active partners, on a national basis as well as locally and regionally. We strengthened our dialogue with the people from Radio-Canada. In fact, as you may know, RDI has modified the programming that concerns us, and we are following these changes attentively.
We now have a dialogue that I would describe as being active, as a group that is of significance to Canada. I believe that it is often thanks to this kind of dialogue that we are able to make ourselves heard. This also allows us to put measures into place by which we can facilitate, in some measure, an adapted content, to ensure that Radio-Canada represents us appropriately.
In my opinion, once again, it is not an issue of taking one or two steps. It truly is an issue of dealing with things comprehensively and of deciding what it is we expect of Radio-Canada, as a country. I think that is at the root of our discussions this morning.
