Thank you.
I don't think it's impossible at all. I think it's something we need to undertake.
Mr. Maavara, I really like the Corus big six, but if I can cherry-pick one—and I'm going to—number four reads:
Recognize that private media enterprise success is what will lead to a stronger cultural system, not the current system of progressive fees, conditions and tariffs.
That is the establishment of our current system, isn't it? It's a system of fees; it's a system of tariffs. I'm told, for example, that Shaw's proposed takeover of CanWest could result in some $200-million-plus in transfer fees. If this were real estate, you'd call that a land transfer tax, but that's really what they're looking at, a transfer fee to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, which really discourages Canadian companies from even looking at building stronger enterprises by taking these things over.
I understand Shaw is making a commitment of over $150 million to Canadian content. They're keeping an agreement that was put in place by CanWest and moving that forward. Despite that, they're looking at a very significant transfer tax.
Is this something that enables or creates a stronger system, or, as you're saying, does this discourage innovation, discourage the strengthening of the Canadian broadcast system? It is discouraging enterprise success—to speak to your point four—isn't it?
