I'm going to have to play the hard man on this, in that we haven't decided what we're doing with our digital media study, but now we're going to start to bring in broadcast and fit it in.
I think the situation with CBC is distinct. It's distinct because CBC is now the only broadcaster left in Canada that is not part of a vertically integrated delivery service. Its challenges are going to be very specific to the fact that its main competitors are basically phone companies. So we have to get our heads around that.
I don't have a problem bringing in the CBC to talk at our digital media study about what it is doing in the digital platforms. That's great. But if it is being posited the way Pablo has said about the new reality, then that is something we have to address specifically, and it's not something we can just throw in.
We are on the verge of a profound change in the delivery of broadcast, and we're putting money through the Canadian Media Fund that is tied to the broadcast envelopes, when some of the producers are going to want to actually cut those strings and get out altogether. If we're going to phone applications and other digital platforms, everything is starting to change. We're going to at least have to spend a bit of time getting our heads around this.
I would oppose this motion at this present time, not oppose where we want to go with it, but I think we have to deal with this digital study, and we have to look at this. To me they are separate entities.
