You heard the comments made earlier: people in the regions are complaining about Radio-Canada's declining presence. It is important that Radio-Canada continue to be a strong presence in the regions with journalists in the field and regional programming.
It must also be ensured that Radio-Canada is adequately funded so that it can carry out its mandate. It must receive funding over a longer term, five, six or seven years, and not just two or three years. For that purpose, the CRTC should be able to grant a 10-year instead of a seven-year licence, as the Senate Committee on Transport and Communications recommended.
