Not on all platforms, but I'm talking specifically about news.
With respect to Tou.TV, the streaming service of Radio-Canada, it is number one in the French market. CBC Gem ranks number two behind Crave.
Listen, when we talk about performance, today, television is one piece of a very complex multiplatform operation, and you can slice it and dice it every which way.
I would like to, if I may, Madam Chair, just read a little letter that I received this morning. I remembered that MP Waugh had some letters from Saskatoon. This one literally came in over my desk this morning.
The writer said she had listened and watched CBC for over 75 years. She has only two channels on her radio, CBC Radio One and CBC Radio 2, and she relies on CBC TV News for truthful and unbiased reporting. She listed some of the things she thinks that CBC does right: news, local, national, investigative, the arts, music, live concerts, French, ethnic, comedy shows, movies, coverage of historic events, children's programming and literature reviews. She said she may have missed some of the programs, but the calibre of the hosts, journalists, presenters and technicians was so excellent. She wanted me to pass on to all of the staff at CBC her grateful thanks for providing her the world in her armchair, free, unbiased, informative and pleasurable. She sent her regards as a faithful listener and said, “Let's hope the CBC continues for years to come.”
I won't give her last name, but her first name is Judith.
