Thank you, Mr. Chair. Indeed it is an honour.
Ms. Wilson and Mr. Pope, thank you so very much for those great submissions.
I want to start by asking you, Mr. Pope, about your experiences with Above & Beyond—which, I might add, was a fantastic production. Given the fact that this is all going on the public record and I'm sure the executives of the CBC are probably reading what I'm saying, I would just like to put a plug in. I think Above & Beyond should be a continual series. I think it's a good idea.
Before you comment on that, I'd also like you to comment on your experience as a independent in getting Above & Beyond onto the airwaves of the CBC and what you would like to see the CBC change in the process of getting your production on the air.
