Good morning, everyone.
Welcome to the 56th meeting of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are undertaking a full investigation of the role of a public broadcaster in the 21st century.
I must say we're very pleased to have our witnesses here this morning. The agenda has our witnesses split this morning, but what we're going to do is have both presentations, and then I think we can ask questions of either group. That might give us a little more time, because we have only 45 minutes for each. This way we'll have an hour and a half to ask those questions.
I welcome this morning, from the Centre d'études sur les médias, Florian Sauvageau. We also have Renaud Gilbert, former ombudsman, French services, Radio-Canada.
Welcome, gentlemen.
Mr. Sauvageau first, please.
