Thank you for that.
Welcome, Monsieur Lacroix, Mr. Stursberg, and Monsieur Lafrance. Thank you for being here today to speak with us about your plans for CBC/Radio-Canada and how CBC/Radio-Canada is fulfilling its mandate for Canadians.
Before we begin, I would like to remind members of the relationship that CBC/Radio-Canada enjoys with the federal government. CBC/Radio-Canada is an arm's-length crown corporation whose independence is legislated in the Broadcasting Act. I won't read that yet; let's hope we don't have to get there.
We welcome your words.
