When we did this audit—and it may have changed since, because they have put someone in charge of managing it—we found it really wasn't being managed as rigorously as we would have expected, so it wasn't clear how that inventory would be used. The CBC would have acquired something and have several plays on it, would have done it twice, and there would be no value left, essentially, on the books of the corporation, but it wasn't clear to us. Was there still a value to that? Were they planning to air it again or continue airing it? Then it brings up the question we noted when we compared it to the private broadcasters. When they pay for a certain number of airings of a program, they will generally do that. It raises a question about the value of that inventory and that it needs much more rigorous management, but we didn't see the kinds of information you would expect.
