As I said earlier, I will not make any judgments on the way in which the CBC uses its funds. However, we can recognize that the number of high-production-value series has diminished over the years. These kinds of series, which are documentaries or major dramatic series, give our artists the opportunity to fully express their imagination. I'm thinking of a series like Grande Ourse, on the television service of Radio-Canada, which had to be cancelled for lack of funds. These series are important for our artists, our own identity and our culture.
