There is one thing that I don't clearly understand. In the case of the affiliated stations in Sherbrooke, Saguenay and Trois-Rivières, in the past, Radio-Canada has made the decision to establish service contracts. However, programs are produced in part by Radio-Canada journalists and technicians. It is Radio-Canada that produces the news broadcasts for Sherbrooke, Saguenay and Trois-Rivières. The service contract concerns launching and broadcasting. I think that Radio-Canada has done its share to ensure the program is created. Then it remains for it to be launched. I don't know whether the percentages that I heard reflect that reality. There was a change in that regard, when Radio-Canada assumed a certain part of the production. That is probably because the corporation does not have the necessary money to have broadcast transmitters. That's done by the affiliates.
