Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Bibic, since I only have two and a half minutes, I will try to be quick and clear with my questions.
Bell received regulatory relief from the CRTC that resulted in savings—correct me if I'm wrong—to the tune of $40 million. During the same year, nearly 6,100 positions were cut at Bell in various departments. I know it's a big company, but still.
Bell says it's investing in news. However, we see that in some regions of Quebec, particularly in Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean, Trois-Rivières and Sherbrooke, the quality of local news is much lower than it was a few years ago.
And yet Bell continues to ask for regulatory relief to create a level playing field with the web giants.
Given your recent decisions, how can you guarantee that this relief will not serve, once again, to weaken journalistic coverage in the regions of Quebec and the dissemination of Quebec culture in French in Quebec?
If I'm not mistaken, that is an important mandate for Bell, which operates radio and television stations in Quebec.
