I think the answer is yes. I think it's ludicrous using any standard of life that this organization goes from year to year without a real sense of its funding. That has a ripple effect through the organization. Quite frankly, it does affect the news and current affairs part of the CBC, which is so important.
When Alain was asked about the challenges of Radio-Canada, one of the challenges that I think confronts both the CBC and Radio-Canada is the protection of resources. Otherwise, we can't maintain coverage of Afghanistan or Sudan or whatever.
I think some sort of financial stability would have a direct, positive impact on the information dimension of CBC's mandate.
