I just want to come back to the question of appointments, relating directly to the CBC. I am concerned about the quotation from the Minister that you have probably read in the various media. The CBC has to renew its licence, and whether we like it or not, you will agree with me that the CRTC has a large say in the process. We know how the CRTC, as an institution, has a say in the process, as do the individuals who make up the CRTC.
Could you tell me whether Mr. Pentefountas was recommended by your department? Is that how it works?
