Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Good afternoon and welcome once again.
We are going to exchange remarks very quickly. I have a lot of questions to ask you, and I'm going to try to select a few that are essential and fundamental.
You talked about the need to provide CBC/Radio-Canada with adequate financial resources and necessary means for it to be able to cover the entire mandate that is conferred on it by the Broadcasting Act.
How do we go about doing that, when we rely on a single funding source, which furthermore is political, because it comes from the government, in order to ensure that it is independent of the government? How do you go about avoiding the moods resulting from a change in government? How do you avoid these sensitivities over content and programs when it is the sole source of funding?
