Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, to all of you, for attending today.
This has probably been the most informative session we've had so far. To have experts on new media here...Mr. Bensimon, your testimony is refreshing. It just puts a whole new perspective on the issue of CBC, a public broadcaster, and what we have to review before we extend the funding that's already available to CBC.
Because we have a number of specialists in the area of new media, I'm going to focus in on Mr. Savage and Mr. Bélanger.
As you know, the CRTC has made it quite clear that for the time being the new media exemption will stay. Mr. Savage, you touched on it briefly. I'd like you to expand on that.
Mr. Bélanger, you didn't touch on it specifically, but I sense that you probably have a view on that as well. I'm wondering if you could tell us whether you support the extension of that exemption at this point in time. If so, why, and if not, why not?
