Mr. Angus, to us, this is obvious. You are talking to me about your region, which in fact I know very well because I am a Franco-Ontarian, but I would say that if you were to go out west, you would observe exactly the same phenomenon. It is evident that the support of a significant public broadcaster like Radio-Canada would have an absolutely extraordinary effect on the community both in terms of supporting it but also in terms of its cultural identity.
This is a vital component. For people living outside of Quebec, access is a problem. The fact of being supported and of hearing their own voices would have, evidently, a very significant impact on their identity. That is one of the reasons why we state in our brief that we need Radio-Canada. Nevertheless, I agree with you Ms. Bourgeois, in stating that it goes beyond the issue of needs: it is part of what Radio-Canada must do.
