Thank you, Mr. Chair.
For those among you who have concerns about the precariousness of artists' living conditions--and I think you mentioned it, Mr. Kulawick--I specify, if you don't know it yet, that the committee agreed to make a study precisely on this subject. We should begin our hearings in September, when the House returns. I invite you to come back at that time to examine this situation with us.
I would like to continue in the same vein as Mr. Scott. As a matter of fact, I think it is important--and several of us mentioned it--to try to find a way to offer those musical genres an equal and interesting part of the public waves. It is important to look at this issue while realizing however that Parliament cannot interfere with the day-to-day management of CBC.
I would like you to continue to think aloud with us in order to determine what can be done. We talked about bandwidth, about new frequencies which could be added. It is not necessarily possible but there might be a means to include in the MOU--and Mr. Scott alluded to this--some elements which could lead to a better sharing of public waves.
I would like to hear your comments, but also other proposals which seem of interest to you.
