I think this committee, other committees, other royal commissions, other inquiries, for years have been calling for a fully resourced public broadcaster. It's not new. The question is, why hasn't anything been done about it? I don't care which party it is. Why hasn't anything been done about it? As to the degree to which the CRTC can lend its weight, that hasn't happened either. If you ask me why.... Catatonia? I don't know.
