In our mémoire, we're asking that the local production improvement fund be accessible only to private broadcasters. We believe CBC/Radio-Canada has access to large sums of public funding, which should be sufficient for it to complete its mandate.
Also, as my colleague mentioned, the fund is fairly small. If we're talking about $20 million for French Canada, then we're talking about 33 stations. So that's not a lot of money per station. Imagine if the public broadcaster also were to have access to a significant share of that fund--there would be very little left for the private broadcasters.
