I think the department has already raised that point. I think that you need to have something to say, but there are going to be some cases in which it won't be possible for them to reach that standard. You need to be able to say that certain undertakings are going to have to do their best but that they're not going to be able to rise to this standard.
I think that one of the problems here, honestly, is—we'll have to get to another amendment—the difference between foreign and Canadian ones. In the other one, the Bloc or the G-2 one, we didn't differentiate between Canadian and foreign; we just said that all broadcasting undertakings have the same responsibilities. If this is adopted, or regardless, I would still be moving to change the two-track tier to a one-track tier by removing the word “Canadian” and deleting (f.1), because I don't know how we say that Canadian broadcasters are subject to standards that are higher than and different from the standards for foreign broadcasters.
I am proposing this to be reasonable on both sides. I guess this is a hard one to amend because it has to be done in a two-track system. However, I'm going to be proposing this amendment, and another one afterward.
Thanks, Heather, for giving me the chance to clarify.
