Thank you.
Ms. Simard and Ms. Yale, thank you both very much for coming.
This is my very first opportunity to sit in a committee and ask questions, so please forgive me if my questions are not as concise as perhaps they could be. I'll try not to use names inappropriately this afternoon, as I've already done.
Some of my questions are going to be around CBC/Radio-Canada and what you've recommended.
You have recommended that we move toward less advertising on those platforms, and I'd like a bit of information on how you think that will impact the budget that CBC gets. Could you talk about any information you might have on what budgets might be for other national broadcasters that are similar to the CBC, like BBC or the Australian Broadcasting Corporation?
