Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the people who are appearing before us today on behalf of the three invited groups.
You represent a vital part of Canada: linguistic duality and the importance of producing original content in French in Canada, in Quebec and, more specifically, outside Quebec.
Also, there's the importance of producing original English-language content in Quebec, because we have two official language minorities in this country, which people are forgetting too often these days.
I just want to assure the groups that I do support many of the amendments you have proposed and I will put them forward when it comes time for amendments.
I'd like to ask a couple of questions.
In the brief from the Quebec English-language Production Council, you mentioned that CRTC decisions have historically had very negative impacts on Quebec's English-speaking communities, and the trend is getting worse over the years.
Could you just give me a few sentences about that?
