Where it is not available, we would. We had mentioned that creating hard news is an expensive endeavour, above and beyond the budgets that we currently have. And yes, we would like to be able to access the funding, but I stress again that it's in a non-competitive environment. If the local broadcaster is providing hard news, then we remain in our traditional role, augmenting that and working with community members who come to us and actually ask us to do productions, etc., in the depth that we can, which perhaps the broadcasters can't do with their scheduling.
