Thank you very much.
I thank our guests today from the CRTC for appearing.
I'd like to go back to what Mr. Simms had to say and to also pick up on where Mr. Angus was.
I had the opportunity to view a very recent poll, which I believe came from the Strategic Counsel, that talked about how much Canadians value local television, specifically local television news. They have said, as you've indicated, Mr. von Finckenstein, how much it means to them, very clearly.
You also pointed out in your response that Canadians are paying. They are paying a fairly significant amount into a fund for local programming. They're paying it in their cable bills or in their satellite bills. You talked about the 5% gross revenues that are kicked into a fund. That has increased to 6%. You said that the 6% was roughly $60 million per year. Being a math guy, I worked that out, and it's about $2 per Canadian just for the increase. They're now kicking in about $12 for every Canadian.
I'm not sure how many satellite or cable subscribers there'd be in the country, but I would suggest that probably one-quarter of Canadians actually have a subscription.
