Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all the witnesses for being with us here today.
We have looked at all kinds of figures since the start of this meeting. Unless I am mistaken, compared to the previous budget, CBC/Radio-Canada has obtained an increase of $75 million in the first year and $150 million a year over the next four years. That is nearly a 7.2% increase in your budget for the first year and 14.4% for subsequent years. Those are obviously sizable and significant amounts for CBC/Radio-Canada and for all Canadian citizens.
My first question is this: what are your spending priorities for those amounts? How will they benefit Canadians?
