Thank you, Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for being here today.
I want to say that I'm particularly happy that WAVAW is here today. I want to thank Ms. Tsepnopoulos-Elhaimer and Ms. Israel for their presentation. WAVAW has made a huge difference on the Lower Mainland of British Columbia in supporting women who've been victims—victims is probably the wrong word, you'd probably correct me—who've experienced violence. You've supported them through that experience but also sought social change that really has had a positive effect on our community. Whenever WAVAW has been invited to a meeting, the clarity of the challenge that comes from WAVAW has been helpful to me, both as a man and also as an elected official. You've done that again today, so thank you.
I wanted to ask a couple of things. They're probably more specific than I want to be, but you did mention the importance of advocacy advertising and the difficulty or impossibility of getting that on the public broadcaster, in particular the CBC. Could you talk a little bit more about how you perceive that and the importance of that, particularly with regard to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and Radio-Canada?
