Mr. Wente, that might be a good segue to speak with you.
Today and during these meetings, I'm very proud that we're talking about representing both official languages, about being racially diverse and gender-diverse and about first nations, Inuit and Métis. These are conversations that might not have happened in previous iterations of the Broadcasting Act.
I appreciate your being here and bringing your voice and this idea to the table. It's nice. No, it's not fast enough and far enough, but we're moving in the right direction. Of that, I am proud.
The stories you talk about, which talk about the who, and the careers you have made as writers, producers, directors, musicians, actors, journalists and production teams often start in very local productions. The only way to get these bigger companies, then, is to support them at local levels.
Can you highlight the importance of supporting local sectors in those early independent days and perhaps share a success story? It's always nice to have a tangible story to show how support can make a difference.
