Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank all the witnesses. I will address Mr. Crowfoot.
I'll speak in English.
I'm going to ask if it's possible for you to send your text. I know it should be in both languages. I'm sure we can manage. I'm sure what you had to say was precious, so please send it.
I congratulate you on the initiatives you've been doing for all these years and for your courage in these challenging times of the paradigm shifting completely to new technologies. We could talk forever about broadband Internet, whether it's available or not, and your getting ready to roll on this and then having all this competition coming from the digital side.
I'm switching to Mr. Lever. You talked about the importance of the CBC and Radio-Canada websites grabbing part of your advertising sales on digital, and it's true. It's been mentioned quite a few times for newspapers, because it's very good journalistic work. It's also why people refer to it a lot. We've heard many times that they should not have advertising. They can complement their work with that, but they should not sell advertising.
Is it right when you say 88% of the advertising online goes to international, and you're fighting with the CBC for that very thin 12% that's remaining? The dramatic change is not there. The dramatic change is to make sure you get your fair share of advertising with the readers you have and the viewers you have. The big change is that 88% of advertising sales goes to the States. Is it okay to say so, Mr. Lever?
