We have excellent working relationships with private television and radio broadcasters. Every year we hand out numerous prizes. We have quite significant support. Thanks to the awarding of the Governor General's Prizes or other opportunities, we can showcase the talent of Canadian artists. Moreover, the Broadcasting Act protects Canadian content. Our grant programs support artists in the creation of their works, which are then broadcast on all the airwaves. The partnership with the CBC is special, because our mandate is shared and gives us the opportunity to work much more closely together than we do with the private broadcasters.
