I won't give you a straight answer: there needs to be a balance. Both of you talked about francophones outside Quebec. I realized 20 years ago—and listening to you, not much has changed since—that francophones outside Quebec had reason to complain about Radio-Canada. If you are in Vancouver, tuning into Radio-Canada is often surrealistic. There are two problems. There is a problem of balance between centralization and decentralization. It is the same thing in English and in French. There is also the specific problem of francophones outside Quebec, but we do not have time to talk about that, because I would have to elaborate on the issue. I could send you some information, if you want, on the specific problems of francophones outside Quebec. We must also avoid exaggerating the importance of local programming; a balance must be struck. All countries have an artistic centre that does TV, advertising and motion picture film production. That cannot be done in a wide and dispersed area.
