Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for your presentations. It's obviously a very fascinating topic, and there are so many different angles to it.
You mentioned Canadian diversity and Canadian identity, and that because of the low cost of new media, different cultural communities across Canada have been able to connect with each other as well as bring content from their home countries into Canada and experience that as well, going beyond just traditional TV or radio and newsprint. That has been able to bring Canadians together.
It's interesting that Canadian-born children with ethnic backgrounds have been able to learn more about their cultures because of new media. You can actually get various translated religious scripts now on your BlackBerry or your iPhone; previously you'd probably have had to go somewhere and find these scripts and try to get someone to translate them for you. New media have been able to affect new Canadians in different ways.
I know Mr. Del Mastro was saying that we're more than just hockey, but hockey's still a very strong part of Canadian culture, to the point that now, I think on Bell, you can actually get NHL with Punjabi and Mandarin commentary, so that's a strong part of Canadian culture with different languages.
How do you see new media shaping Canadian identity itself? Also, Canadian governments have always paid into multiculturalism. Do you see that changing now, with the way new media are working together with the different cultural communities we have?
