This is a very interesting presentation. I think it would be fair to say that at this point in our study we're starting to see a number of common themes emerge.
There is certainly some consensus on certain areas. The issue of governance structure and the desperate need to deal with this has obviously come up again and again. I think it's a fairly straightforward recommendation we can make as a committee.
The other issue that comes up again and again, which is a little more difficult, is the need for increased funding. Everywhere we go, we hear there's not sufficient funding.
I'm interested in the alternative ways of funding. The more we get into the study, the less I am convinced there are alternative ways, other than an increased fund from government.
For example, on lessening the reliance on commercial advertising, as you said, we've lost $400 million in the last 20 years out of what we normally had as a pot. If we take any advertising dollars out of CBC, I would imagine they're probably paying somewhere in the range of $300 million to $400 million. Can we reasonably expect the government to step into the breach at this time?
