No, but I would assume that could easily be done by dividing $500 million by the number of Canadians. However, the point is that stability and a long-term commitment are critically important. It would be extremely difficult to take away from the CBC/Radio-Canada its ability to generate revenues and control its own future though its own activities without making a commitment to funding for more than one or two years. As you may be aware of, funding is committed for 10 years in England, and for three years in Australia.
