I can't comment on what motivates private companies with respect to the values of the country.

I would say that CBC/Radio-Canada, with its programming like Lakay Nou, Pour toi Flora, Bones of Crows, Son of a Critch, Allegiance.... These are shows that represent Canada's values and talent. They are widely distributed on the world stage and speak enormously about our values of tolerance and truth.

Again, I do believe that without the CBC, there would be a huge impoverishment of our status and our place on the world stage.
