As we said in our presentation, we unreservedly support the request that Mr. Rabinovitch made to the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage for a special budget envelope to provide better service to the regions of the country. However, we would like rigorous control to be exercised so that that funding is in fact spent in the regions, as Radio-Canada is undertaking to do. That control is necessary precisely because the CBC/Radio-Canada tends to refer everything back to Montreal and Toronto.
