I can tell you that local news and local television are very important to our committee. Our communities must have greater access to them.

Moreover, if your television stations were to broadcast Montreal Canadiens games, I think you could increase your viewership.

That said, will the government's investment in the CBC improve the situation or not? You know the federal government will be making a substantial investment in the CBC.
