Thank you for the questions.
On the first one, I articulated earlier that the cost to Canadians is $32 per person per year. For that, CBC/Radio-Canada provides, as I've said before, services on linear television and radio. There are over 45,000 hours of original video content, with 7,000 hours a day distributed across the country, and 95,000 hours of audio. The list goes on. That $32 has not budged. We used to just deliver television and radio, and we're now doing all of those other things on digital platforms that are streaming audio and video. We've expanded the services without increasing the budget.
With respect to morale, I can tell you that it is not easy, especially for our employees at the CBC, though I would say our colleagues at Radio-Canada are equally nervous. At the CBC, it is highly demoralizing to be the target of constant criticism when you're working each and every day to bring fact-based news and information to Canadians across the country and commissioning some of the best programming in the world. It is hard to attract people when the future of the organization is so uncertain.
The sooner this narrative is shut down the better, because it is certainly more damaging to the reputation of the organization than performance pay is.
