Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Si vous me permettez, my presentation will be larger and a bit wider than just sticking to technology, because having ended my mandate as a film commissioner, I think I've had the privilege to see our industry from a vantage point of view and I'd like to share that with you.
I want to stress “former commissioner” because I am surprised that five months later, my successor still has not be appointed. I hope this will happen shortly.
From the outset, I must admit that I am a staunch defender of public television as a guarantor of democratic balance. However, I think the people at Radio-Canada and CBC have to be accountable to the Canadian public. So far, I feel that Radio-Canada has shown that it is more concerned about competition than service.
Is everything being caught, in terms of translation?
