As we've gone on back and forth between the committee and the witnesses, some things have surfaced. The CBC met with us at the beginning of this exercise and we asked them certain questions. One of these had to do with the CBC Radio Orchestra. The CBC told us that they felt that while the radio orchestra would go, this would allow them the opportunity to use regional orchestras across the country to meet their regional mandate. We've heard differently from witnesses. Some said that the CBC Radio Orchestra was important in itself, and they gave us very good reasons.
The other point has to do with having another station besides Radio 2 and having a wider terrestrial reach. CBC told us that they couldn't do that because they didn't have the bandwidth for FM. It was a real problem getting that new bandwidth in.
I need to know if any of you are technical enough to talk about ways, other than conversion into digital, of reaching different bandwidths for people around the country. Do you have an answer to that?
