Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Ms. Laurendeau and Mr. Francis and Mr. Rodriguez for being here.
As you know — and I think everyone on this committee agrees — this is a topic that is absolutely vital to our cultural distinction and overall cultural diversity, for a place like Canada, but Quebec in particular, which has such prolific television production, to continue to thrive and be given a promising future internationally as well.
Let me begin by saying that since I have only seven minutes and I have already lost 30 seconds introducing myself, I will ask you the shortest questions possible and I hope you will give me the shortest answers possible.
In your circle, do you ever have the chance to spend time with children who are 10 or 12 at most and have you noticed that they are not really exposed to Quebec culture any more?
