It's a very serious question.
Let's say this. In the not-for-profit arts, we have run into this through arts education falling off the table, and to some extent one could say that young people's experience of the arts through CBC television has been lost. A generation or two may have been lost to American television, or maybe more. But in terms of reintroducing that experience for young people in Canada, that could be in fact a very important factor in rebuilding Canadian interest in its own stories--not CSI Calgary, but new stories about the past. I think even the extraordinary docudrama that was just done over the last two days on Vimy Ridge was an extraordinary mix of cultures and young people mixing with the past and experiencing the past in a way that I don't think we've seen on any American series, ever. It was a truly original Canadian experience.
I think those are the kinds of things that will connect again with our youth. We have to rebuild their connection to Canada, and maybe it has to start in the schools, with young people's work, as well as with the CBC producing young people's work, that is relevant to children in Canada.
