Absolutely not, and we don't see any problem with, for instance, advertising on Hockey Night in Canada or other professional sports programs. We just think it's a little overdone, and at this point it drives a lot of programming choices. The example that's been given over and over again is that of the American movies shown during the hockey lockout. While I'm sympathetic to those who put forward the argument that CBC should be running Canadian movies, the reality is doing so wouldn't have brought in enough advertising revenue, and the CBC was driven to running American movies. It shouldn't be in a position of having to make that choice.
