I will sum up.
Canada has some of the most educated creative minds in the world. We have a diverse culture. We have the technological knowledge and the skilled workers to deliver some of the leading communication technology in the world. We're looking to you to help craft a 21st century vision that will bring all these elements together.
Let's put our culture and hard-working Canadians ahead of broadcasters and big cable. Help us create a broadcasting system that serves all Canadians and provides thousands of skilled jobs, strengthens communities, and, above all, ensures that Canadians will have a strong, independent voice that can be heard coast to coast to coast and around the globe.
Thank you, committee members.
Mr. Chair, later we'd be happy to take any questions you may have.
