Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'm fascinated by this compensation-for-value model that's being discussed, because we didn't really see this the last time, and I think we're all trying to get our heads around it.
The idea that instead of the CRTC, the big players will negotiate among themselves.... These are companies that are taking out newspaper ads against each other. They're coming before our committee. They're saying no, their map is upside down and has to be read this way. I haven't seen this kind of corporate hostility ever.
I don't know if there's a solution to the future of over-the-air television, but I'd suggest that CTV should get a reality TV show. We could put Phil Lind in a room with Jim Shaw and the Aspers, and we could watch them negotiate.
Is it a viable solution, given the hostility on this issue, to just say that you guys should come up with a deal? Who's going to protect the local operations? Who's going to say that there's Canadian content? That's your job. How can you suggest, given the level of hostility we're seeing, that they're actually going to be able to come back with a plan that protects the overall health of the Canadian television industry?
