Thank you, Mr. Chairperson.
We also have with us Paritosh Mehta from OMNI, who is at the back of the room. He is our head of independent production. As well, Heidi Bonnell, our vice-president of federal government relations, is in the audience.
Thank you for the opportunity to appear to talk about OMNI, the challenges it faces as an over-the-air ethnic television station, and our thinking behind the program strategy that we have recently put in place. Our remarks today will focus on three key areas: Rogers' 30-year investment in Canadian ethnic television, the challenge to OMNI's business model, and the need for policy and regulation to keep pace with market changes.
I will pass it over to Colette, our vice-president of OMNI.
