Thank you, Mr. Chair, for your comments.
I do need to get a life, as I took part in the CBC regulation at the CRTC in January. I was surprised to know that your government funds CBC to the tune of $1.7 billion. What I found surprising, Minister, is that the British regulator recently capped BBC spending on digital at 10%. I don't know if you know it, but CBC is at 20% and rising in this country. They're taking money away from CBC Radio, in fact, as TV is number one, followed by their digital platform.
Is this the way, as Mr. Ripley said in his report in the last hour, for broadcasters to better compete against the digital monopoly the CBC seems to have in this country?
