Mr. Angus, the introduction of HD television through a system of transmitters definitely involves additional costs that the small stations in particular would have to pay if we headed toward that broadcasting method.
However, that is not the most economic system, and we admit it. But we think that the television programs of CBC/Radio-Canada, as the first French-language network in the case of Quebec, or Anglophone network in the other provinces, should be accessible free of charge to all citizens and that, in spite of everything, even if there are higher costs involved in converting our transmission equipment, that is the best system because CBC/Radio-Canada's mandate is to reach all Canadians, free of charge, if we, as small affiliates in our regions, are able to continue signing reasonable agreements with CBC/Radio-Canada.
