Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to both of you for making yourselves available today to share your wisdom with us.
In our review of the role of the public broadcaster here in Canada, this committee has identified a number of prevailing themes. One of them is emerging technologies. Another one is the challenge of representing the many regions across a rather large country. But the third one is the whole issue of funding. That has been at the forefront of our discussions and has certainly been raised right across the country.
I'd like to ask you a few questions about how the BBC is funded. Can you tell us first of all what the total public requisition is?
