Okay, so I'll just go through a few things, and I just have to say, you must have quite the echo chamber there if you believe that, because, when we're talking about how out of touch the CBC can be with Canadians, you need only to look at the bonuses that you paid out during an affordability crisis to executives and senior management while laying off the frontline staff, something that even Peter Mansbridge called the CBC out for.
When we look at all the metrics, all the key performance indicators, ad revenue overall is down, and trust is down. Despite polls that the CBC might have commissioned for itself, independent third party organizations that analyze this indicate that trust in the CBC fell 17% in just four years. Viewership is down to less than 3% in prime-time markets. That means during prime time, when Canadians are going into their living rooms to watch what is on TV, 97% of Canadians say no to the CBC, tune it out and move on to other things.
Based on all of that, Ms. Tait, I just want to thank you, on behalf of the Conservative Party, for your efforts in helping us promote the campaign to defund the CBC. I think outside the Conservative caucus, you have been the most successful person in creating the demand to defund the CBC. The $1.4 billion of taxpayers' money doesn't go for an online streaming service. It goes to a whole host of products, from which Canadians are choosing other sources of information and entertainment.
Again, I don't really have a question there. I just wanted to say thank you for your efforts to help us defund the CBC.
