Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Hutton, I was surprised to hear you say to my colleague earlier that no demographic profile has been established. You talked about 900,000 people who have over-the-air television. Many studies have been conducted on the topic. One of them is a study by the Canadian Media Research Consortium that was published in September 2006. The study analyzed all the data collected through a survey conducted in collaboration with BBM.
The study revealed that those who have over-the-air television are low-income individuals, seniors, disabled people, downtown residents, immigrants and rural dwellers. They represent 9% of the population. Downtown residents who watch television on the Internet and people who decide not to have television for all kinds of intellectual reasons make up this percentage. In addition, by focusing on the province-by-province figures, the study found that 14% of people in Quebec used antennas to watch television, which is the highest percentage among all provinces. Regarding your figure of 9%, Quebec's 14% should be taken into consideration because it brings down the percentage for the rest of Canada to 6% or 7%.
This is a big concern for me, since it affects many people in Quebec. You talked about 900,000 people, but I don't know how many of them live in Quebec. If you divide that number by the number of households, what figure do you end up with?
