It is a board appointed by the government or, in any case, by the minister. That board of directors does not assume the day-to-day management of the Crown corporation, but it ensures that its mandate is carried out. That is the role of governance. It is a board of directors that must ensure that the mandate is presented, and regularly and carefully verify that that mandate is carried out, and make occasional reminders when it is not. I don't think that the governance structure is necessarily a problem in itself. It is the way that governance is exercised that may at times be debatable. I'm not saying it is particularly debatable; I'm talking about governance in general. It is nevertheless important to keep a certain distance and to allow those who have to do radio, television or new media the room to do it, always in a manner consistent with the mandates.
