If you extend the same courtesy to me as I did to you, I will gladly answer.
I think you need to get out of the habit of looking at newspaper articles and taking some quotes that are portions of some conversations and suggesting that somehow reflects some kind of a policy position.
I was asked a particular question by a reporter about a particular kind of support that might be offered to the CBC, and I said that wasn't considered. The quote you're now going to try to read and hit me with is not within the context of the question. The question, as you'll note in the newspaper article, is not in fact printed.
