Talking about the regions, we heard from one group—they must be your counterparts—writers, actors from English Canada, who lamented the fact that the CBC no longer does any local production in the regions. That was a fairly reliable source of employment for them. They could find quite regular work on radio, writing radio dramas and other programs.
We've just come back from a brief tour of the Radio-Canada offices in Montreal. We saw that Radio-Canada commissions productions from outside the corporation, as they do in Toronto, I imagine.
Where do you stand on that trend? Do you think it's as profitable to have productions done on the outside by independent producers? Do you see any reason to correct CBC/Radio-Canada's policy? Are you satisfied or dissatisfied with anything?
