In Greece, one year after the state television network was privatized, 82% of programs broadcast on television were foreign. When we talk about tools for cohesion, CBC/Radio-Canada television may be a tool for cohesion where there are rules. More than ever, as you said, Mr. Angus, we need a strong, well-funded state television, where we can see ourselves, not the country next door, which is very nice, but... We have to see ourselves, see our values and what we want to be.
