Thank you, you have answered my questions.
I would like to make a comment. No one is suggesting that the Government of Canada tell the CBC what to do, but the CBC has a mandate, and its mandate is to reach every single region in this country. It cannot perform and fulfill its mandate if it is not funded appropriately enough to do so. That is the point I'm making.
Secondly, there was a review of the CBC that was brought out by this committee, and it recommended that in fact the government increase funding to the CBC, not keep it where it is or let it go down, but increase funding so CBC can complete its mandate.
