I would add that the other danger concerns the diversity of voices.
Take, for example, Radio-Canada, which produces some 2,500 musical performances a year. I'm talking about Radio-Canada alone; I'm not including the CBC. Radio-Canada doesn't just produce artists in whom it has a financial interest. It doesn't have a financial interest in those artists. Programming selection is very scattered; it includes all genres.
Of course, a media empire will be tempted to promote artists it produces itself through its other disc, video, artist management and other companies. I think the ground rules must be balanced and that a little more funding should be given to Radio-Canada.
The diversity of voices is currently under attack and people always want to cut funding to Radio-Canada.
