I think that as of September 1st of this year, Radio-Canada will come under the Access to Information Act. So, as of that date, the general public will have access to all this information.
Some decisions have been made, but I cannot speak for Radio-Canada management. Regional and local programming is a subject that has been much discussed internally by employees and management. It is very difficult for us as employees and programming suppliers to feel that the options available to us are limited when it comes to distributing programs and pictures that will allow people throughout the country to see themselves reflected on screen.
The past 10 years have been extremely difficult at Radio-Canada. Some decisions made by the public broadcaster did not please everyone. In that regard, would greater transparency make it possible to broaden the debate? I would be inclined to think it would. I think that is one of the aspects of the review of Radio-Canada's mandate. We hope that the conclusions or recommendations you come up with will answer this question. We are in favour of direct involvement by the Canadian public, rather than a government body that manages the public broadcaster. We think the network belongs to Canadians, and that they must be involved. To do that, there must be even greater transparency.
