That's a good question.
We have 32 million people in this country, and I think 32 million people have an opinion about the CBC. In the less than one month I've been in the position, I've already had letters come to my house from passionate listeners of the CBC who have concerns about the changing format of Radio 2.
This is a big organization that reaches across into many regions and provides many services. What I'm excited about is the integration of the platforms, which will allow you as the users to find what you want from the CBC on your own terms, whether it's watching something on television or going to the Internet and watching last night's Senators game on the Internet, as opposed to having to stay in front of the TV. You can download it or watch it in real time.
The whole industry is struggling with this evolution. You'd have to say it's not an evolution; it's a revolution that is taking place. I think working in an integrated manner so that you can have radio, television, Internet, Sirius satellite radio, and everything out there at the disposal of Canadian citizens will help to make that offer available all the time to Canadians.
What is my vision? I keep coming back to what I said earlier. I really believe that the way you make the CBC relevant to Canadians is to get CBC listeners engaged, CBC viewers engaged, viewers of Radio-Canada engaged. That is not an easy task, because we are a very regional country. What unites us day in and day out is maybe that we're at peace day in and day out and we take things for granted. We have to tell Canadians about what goes on in the rest of the world--as we're doing--and tell Canadians what's going on in other parts of the country, and it's a daunting task.
I'm hoping that when the next president comes in to replace Mr. Rabinovitch in November, he or she and their management team and the board can really rise to that challenge.
