Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for being here today.
One thing that can be certainly said about CBC/Radio-Canada is that you are in the forefront in terms of digital access and digital products. I always love listening to CBC North in the morning and hearing people who are listening to the show call in from South Korea, because you can listen to the local show anywhere in the world, depending on where you are.
I'm interested also because in digital culture the big catchphrase is the long tail, and in terms of cultural products in Canada there isn't anything as long as the tail of CBC. For a long time we worried because a lot of that product was sitting in vaults, but I'm seeing more and more of it up online.
I just posted on my Facebook page an awesome little bit footage of Don Messer's Jubilee and got twenty-some comments. I don't know if that was off your page or if someone else had posted it, but I'm not going to quibble, because it's on YouTube.
By the way, there's phenomenal footage of Malcolm X being interviewed on Front Page Challenge. I think the Americans would go crazy if they knew that footage existed.
These are amazing cultural resources, and they are being posted on YouTube and on Facebook and so on. Is there is a coherent strategy on CBC/Radio-Canada's part to try to again get some of those eyeballs back to any kind of central viewing platform, to a place where people could access other content and perhaps at a certain point end up monetizing their traffic?
