Thank you.
I'll start off, I think, maybe not directly on CBC. I hope the chair will indulge me in this.
When I was elected in 2004, I came in and I was told by every group I met that the sky was falling, that this digital tsunami was going to destroy all our little cultural institutions, and we had to protect these silos we built up in the 1970s. Maybe I felt a bit of a dissident at the time. I didn't think we needed to step in and stop the digital revolution. I thought there were a lot of opportunities.
We're now starting to see how the new platforms are emerging and how Canadian content is getting out there. But it means adjusting cultural policy along the way. On the issue of Netflix, from our party's perspective, we do not want to intervene in any way in the choice of Canadians to view what they want, when they want, and how they want. This is one of the fundamental facts of the digital realm. However, they do pose certain problems that have not been encountered before. For example, they're offering a wide variety of content very cheaply and they're not paying into the system; other people are paying into the system.
I don't want to put you on the spot, but have there been policy discussions about the emergence of new platforms? I don't necessarily mean Netflix. It's a very different world than what we were even imagining three and four years ago. At a policy level, do you look at this and ask how we ensure choice and how we ensure that our system continues to operate?
