Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to make sure everyone here understands that my time needs to be extended a little.
I do also want to make a comment to all of the witnesses, because I hate to see you misled. I was a police officer for 19 years. This type of thing should not go on with the leaders of our country. But I want to clarify that the strategic review was put in place several years ago. CBC was well aware of it several years ago. It's unfortunate that someone in the media has picked this timing to bring it out as if it's something new, as if we're kicking them when they're down, as someone said. It is not true, and I want to put that on the record.
I want to turn to some important facts that relate to our study, if we can get back to that.
Mr. Morrison, on the third page of your dissertation you commented on over-the-air viewers being concerned about not being able to afford cable and satellite charges. You went into some explanation about the United States. Are you aware that Bell TV was here last week proposing a very complementary solution to this?
