We all know that these programs of national interest are the ones for which you really have to ask for BDUs. You have to demand that they do it. That's why these are there.
I do not know why the CRTC decided to reduce from 10% to 5%. It makes no sense to me, particularly when we look at the way our Canadian media industry is under siege. I have no idea.
Pierre, I would say my biggest concern about this motion is that all these developments, between this and the National Post—there is all sorts of speculation being talked about in the media about whether Postmedia could be bankrupt over the summer.... There is so much shifting sand. If we don't get this report done, if we allow every development to hold up the timeline on this report, we are never going to have it written. That's my only concern.
I would say I'm not in favour of “within 30 days”, because this timeline is too.... I would very much like—and I think we need, for the sake of our report—to understand the rationale for the CRTC's decision on this. I don't know that we need to occupy committee time with his appearing here. That's my only rationale. I would gladly invite him here, but we are down to a single-digit number of days.
