It seems to me you people have quite a tough mandate. Not only are you having to deal with these issues you've raised about the CBC, but the whole broadcast versus new media question is dogging us all because we don't know the answers. I sympathize with your mandate. It's pretty tough.
I don't know what to say. To be honest, I haven't thought a lot about this. I like the idea you talk about, having something that is independent, that shows things that are like CBC radio, higher quality, better quality, social issues, things that make people think. The funding issue, I acknowledge, is a problem. There's no clear answer. This idea you've suggested is quite interesting, though. I think it bears examination.
