It's a very good question.
As we all know, some of our popular artists get a great deal of play time on a variety of stations. Somebody like Anne Murray doesn't actually need our help to be successful. She was recently here and did sold-out concerts on her tour.
It seems to me that the mandate of the CBC is especially to encourage new and young talent, to present new composers and new works, and to help present Canadian artists to the world, if you will.
