Yes, in terms of the question on a planning process.
Up until now, at least, the Canadian Television Fund has always received its contribution from the federal government on an annual basis only. With the exception of the crisis year, we've never been notified that our funding is beyond a one-year time period. In the year when the two BDUs stopped payment, the minister at that time did announce a two-year funding program for the fund. We're in the final year of that now, so the government itself would have to change the way it has historically been supporting the CTF in order to build toward a five-year plan.
If the CBC's amount were to be reassessed, the question would be, based on what? What is it that you're trying to achieve through that particular funding source? When the fund moved to the broadcaster performance envelope system, the reason that historic access originally, not only for the CBC but for all broadcasters, carried such a heavy weight was because we had to start that system somewhere. We looked at the past licensing patterns of the broadcasters across the spectrum, and historic access became one of the factors in the broadcaster performance envelope. We're moving slowly away from that as a factor that calculates the envelope, leaning much more heavily into audience.
The complexity around the CBC is because the 37% was always a certain and guaranteed amount. Their audience numbers were never factored into the calculation, although they were quite willing to do so. My only point was it would be a little difficult for us to plan out for five years when, at least historically, our funding from the federal government has been on an annual basis.
