Thank you for the question.
I can tell you that I come from a very diverse riding. About 40% of my constituents are visible minorities, many of whom are new Canadians. There are more Korean Canadians in my district than in any other district in the country. The value of local broadcasting, especially for new Canadians in the language in which they are most comfortable, is critical.
By the way, we actually saw some success in Vancouver with the broadcast in Punjabi of the gold medal hockey games for the Olympics. It was a huge success for them and others.
It's very important, but I think the first thing is to get the assessment right. I know the CRTC is now looking at this. We look forward to their report. We'll obviously react to the report with the responses that are needed in terms of funding or talking to our agencies about how they may want to approach things differently.
Going back to what Charlie said about the Canada Media Fund, they have an independent board that governs and decides how the money ought to be directed and funded. They have to do it within the context of guidelines from the government. We have guidelines that we give to the Canada Media Fund, as I said. For example, one-third goes to French content. It's certainly a fund that could be considered over time as a source of funding for non-official language broadcasting endeavours.
