Avec plaisir.
But with the resources we have, we need to make some choices. We need to balance our priorities. How much out of these resources should be dedicated to regional programming? There are much larger strategic questions. In the current broadcast environment, is it a good time to consider eliminating advertising on CBC and Radio-Canada television? If so, where would the revenue necessary to replace advertising come from? What kind of long-term solution would the government then consider to ensure that we could still deliver the services Canadians want if we didn't have access to our commercial revenues?
I would be pleased to hear your thoughts about the challenges we face, and will try my best to answer your questions.
Thank you.
