I will speak on behalf of not only my management team but also the 7,500 people who work at CBC/Radio-Canada. It is extremely difficult to not have the love and support for the work that we do. However, we continue to do it, because we believe that serving Canadians, English and French and indigenous, is worth it. It is a pillar of our democracy. Everything we do, exactly to your point, is to combat disinformation. It's why we have something on our website that's called “Get the facts”. When somebody says something that's inaccurate, we correct it.
It is absolutely critical that Canadians can count on us. We saw the numbers during the COVID years. We had 25 million Canadians visiting our digital sites, because they knew they could depend on us. As I said before, we are the only service coast to coast to coast. We're running transmission towers, hundreds of them, across the north. Without CBC, you lose that connectivity, which is essential to our democracy and to our sense of belonging and social cohesion in this country.
