The CRTC just passed an order saying that the off-air broadcasters would not be allowed to get a fee out of cable. I think that's fine. But maybe for the public broadcasters, it might be worth considering a fee, like a national education fee or something, from cable. So when you hook up to cable because you're desperate to get American channels, you end up paying a dollar or something for the CBC too.
