Do you think the government's delay and inaction, perhaps from the minister to you as the head of CRTC, has resulted in the closure of all of these local television stations and regional programming? I know you've spoken about the Local Programming Improvement Fund, but it's evident when you talk to people who live in cities and municipalities like Wingham, Wheatley, Brandon, Victoria, Barrie--and the list goes on across the country--that the Local Programming Improvement Fund hasn't been able to do a lot to save local news and regional programming in those areas. Should the minister have provided direction much sooner than the hearings that are being held in April to ensure some action so that these people, these Canadians, wouldn't have to suffer?
