Thank you.
I have a question. I love it when, as chair, I get an opportunity to ask a question or two.
Stratford, Ontario, happens to be in my riding, so when it comes to the arts, I do know a little bit about the arts. I know that the Stratford Festival has become quite a school, as time has gone on, to teach and train not only new actors and actresses but also technicians, whether it be for lighting or various other areas, to hone their skills.
You mentioned earlier that the CBC should be a teacher. Do you think it is really the mandate of a public broadcaster to be teaching? I know that right here in Winnipeg there are art schools, so some of those things are already being looked after. Again, the Canada Council for the Arts does help out the Stratford Festival and has over the years recognized the quality and the work that has been done there in production.
So do you think it is really the role of the CBC to be a teacher?
