Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Gilbert, Mr. Sauvageau, I thank you for your contributions which will serve the committee in preparing to issue its recommendations. My question is for both of you. I will use the term "public broadcaster" to designate CBC/Radio-Canada.
History has shown that political and economic interests can turn the public broadcaster away from its mandate and alter its identity. How can we guarantee independence for the public broadcaster given these economic and political considerations?
