Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I'm always interested when I hear comments like that. Was it a week ago that the opposition was standing and hollering in the House of Commons, pleading that we overrule the CRTC on UBB? And when we do it, somebody comes out and says, “I can't believe the government overruled the CRTC.” You can flip back the other way and say the CRTC is a sacred cow that should never be overruled on anything, even when you put a release out a week before that, saying, “Somebody please overrule the CRTC.” It's remarkable.
But I guess government is held to a higher standard, Minister. I'd like to say that I think you're setting the standard for the Minister of Canadian Heritage, and I think arts and culture groups from across this country have been very clear in that regard as they've come forward and talked about your support for the sector.
Specifically, on the CBC, because that's what we're here to speak about today, I noticed in your remarks that you commented on the CBC's five-year plan. The CBC has put forward a plan that requests no additional funding. They've put forward, I think, an aggressive five-year plan. They have a vision.
Have you reviewed that? Can I just have your thoughts on it?
