I appreciate that comment very much. We understand there's a struggle going on. This committee has a very difficult task to make funding recommendations and how the CBC's mandate should be preserved. It's clearly a big challenge.
I don't believe we think advertising should be cut instantly. That flow of revenue to an organization as complex as CBC broadcasting, if that is going to be done over a period of time, even that itself would be a tremendous shock to the system in how it's managed. If the CBC were not totally dependent on advertising revenue, with the goal being eventual independence from advertising revenue, we see that as a solution--and in the short term, in a stable manner.
